Unless certain minimum size requirements are satisfied, cracking of sheet materials with high fracture toughness R and low yield stress o is often complicated by generalised yielding in regions away from t~e crack tip. For materials with /(ER)/o > 0.2/m, these requirements become prohibitively large
The R-curve behavior of two different rubber-toughened epoxy adhesives was measured as a function of the mode ratio. A bilinear model was used to characterize the fracture resistance (R-curve) behavior from crack initiation to steady-state crack propagation. Experiments showed that the model paramet
