Abstract

The double cantilever beam (DCB) cleavage technique developed by many investigators(1–5) has been applied for measuring the surface energy 0,4–8) and the crack velocity(3,9) in brittle materials. The authors investigated the crack behavior in the DCB cleavage specimen at constant strain rate.

Résumé

Pour mesurer l'énergie de surface et la vitesse de fissuration dans les matériaux fragiles, on a appliqué la technique, utilisée par plusieurs chercheurs, de la mise en clivage d'une éprouvette en forme de double poutre cantilever. Les auteurs ont analysé le comportement de fissures dans ce type d'éprouvettes à vitesse de déformation constante.

Zusammenfassung

Das Doppelkantileverproben-Spaltverfahren (DCB), welches von verschiedenen Verfassern (1–5) entwickelt worden ist, wurde für die Messung der Oberflächenenergie [1, 4–8] und der Rißausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit [3,9] in spröden Materialien angewandt. Die Verfasser untersuchten das Rissverhalten in DCB-Proben bei konstanter Verformungsgeschwindigkeit.
