Analysis of an Interface Fracture Specimen for Adhesively Bonded Joints

by De, Deepankar; Narasimhan, R.

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.
