An axisymmetric, bar-type specimen, which contains conical, 'crack-like', external flaws, is described. The specimen can be used to obtain mixed-mode (I, II, and III) fracture data. These 'crack-like' flaws can be created in metallic and non-metallic materials by incorporating metal or ceramic shims in moulds used to cast the components.
