The paper presents numerical study and relationship between the double-K fracture parameters and the double-G fracture parameters using two standard tests. The data required for calculation is obtained using cohesive crack model. It is observed that both the corresponding parameters of the double-K fracture model and the double-G fracture model at the onset of crack initiation and unstable fracture are equivalent. This observation agrees well with experimental results available in literature. It is also found that the fracture parameters of double-K fracture criterion and double-G fracture criterion are influenced by initial notch-length/depth ratio, specimen shape, size and softening function.
