The fracture toughness of an epoxy-based film adhesive has been investigated using Mode I and combined Mode 1 + Mode II loadings. The opening Mode, Mode I, was realized by employing the Tapered Double Cantilever Beam (TDCB) specimen, while the mixed opening and shear modes, Mode I + Mode II, resulte

One common concern with the manual testing of chevron notched specimens to determine fracture toughness is that it does not provide for precise control over the loading rate. This study examines the effect of loading rate on the measured fracture toughness of 20 identical hardened AISI 4140 steel sa
Adhesive strength shows temperature and rate dependencies that reflect viscoelastic properties of an adhesive. Similarly, a critical strain energy release rate is expected to show temperature and rate dependencies because deformation and fracture of the adhesive occur at the time of the measurement
