International Journal of Fracture Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The results of He et al. (1995) for the Double Cleavage Drilled Compression (DCDC) specimen are extended to cover the case where both the hole and crack are offset from the centerline of the specimen. The effect of the thickness of an adhesive layer on the value of the energy release is also investigated. The applicability of the results to experimental studies is presented.
