The paper contains the results of investigations of the crack path growthin rectangular specimens made of the AlCuMg1 aluminium alloy under proportionalbending with torsion loading. Specimens with rectangular cross-sections and stressconcentrator in the form of external one-sided sharp notch were used. The tests wereperformed under the different ratios of torsion to bending moments and different stressratio, R.
