heal.abstract	The strain energy density criterion is applied to the case of a bifurcated crack loaded axially at infinity under generalized plane stress conditions. The relative behaviour of the two branches is predicted by evaluating the expected crack propagation angle and the ratio of the corresponding energy densities. A non-destructive technique is proposed by means of the experimental method of caustics to evaluate the angle of propagation. © 1982.	en
