Abstract

Mode II crack propagation along a bonded joint is investigated using newly proposed Inverse-End Loaded Split experimental configurations. This test configuration allows stable crack propagation all along the crack propagation path. The specimen compliance and strain energy release rate for the new experimental arrangement are derived. An experimental data reduction procedure, based on the effective crack length approach, is also proposed. Two series of experiments are performed to assess the stable nature of the crack propagation and data reduction scheme associated to this new experimental arrangement. In addition to stable crack growth, the experiment may prove his worthiness in the study of crack onset under mode II loading.
