Abstract.
The double cantilever beam specimen for fracture testing was investigated for large displacement conditions. J-expressions were derived for arbitrary loading of the beam-ends. As special cases two different loadings, transverse force and bending moment were studied. Explicit relations for use in experimental situations were derived.
