Analysis of an Interface Fracture Specimen for Adhesively Bonded Joints

International Journal of Fracture Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

An interface fracture specimen for measuring the fracture toughness of adhesively bonded joints is proposed. It is found to represent a wide range of mode mixity. The specimen is calibrated assuming LEFM conditions and the limit of validity of this calibration as the load increases is also assessed.
