Creep Crack Growth Behavior during Hot Water Immersion of an Epoxy Adhesive Using a Spring-Loaded Double Cantilever Beam Test Method

Double cantilever beam (DCB) tests were conducted by immersing the specimens in temperature-controlled water while applying a creep load using a spring. By introducing a data reduction scheme to the spring-loaded DCB test method, it was confirmed that only a single parameter measurement was sufficie...
