The multiaxiality factor defined as the ratio of the von-Misses equivalent stress to the volumetric stress has been reported to be related to the initiation and progression of failure in structures. It is demonstrated in the present paper that the location around the crack tip where the multiaxiality factor obtains minimum value is an indicator of the direction of minimum material fracture resistance for crack propagation. It is also proposed that the location along the direction of crack propagation path where multiaxiality factor obtains minimum value is considered as the critical distance away from the crack tip, where the strain energy density should be evaluated and compared to its critical value. Theoretical predictions correlate well with the test results for the investigated cases.
