Universal slope-based J-integral methods for characterization of the mode I, mode II and mixed mode I/II fracture behaviour of adhesively bonded interfaces

Universal slope-based J-integral methods have been developed for the determination of the energy release rate for adhesively bonded joints under mode I, mode II and mixed-mode (I/II) loading conditions. The individual J components corresponding to the mode I and mode II loading were separated based...

description Universal slope-based J-integral methods have been developed for the determination of the energy release rate for adhesively bonded joints under mode I, mode II and mixed-mode (I/II) loading conditions. The individual J components corresponding to the mode I and mode II loading were separated based on the J-integral decomposition theory. The proposed methods use the slopes of the substrates at various locations to characterize the energy release rate and thus avoid the measurement of crack lengths, which are especially suitable for characterizing the tough interfaces associated with large fracture process zones ahead of crack tips. Under linear elastic deformation, the slope-based J equations were found to be equivalent to classical G equations based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). Both experimental and numerical testing of adhesively bonded joints were undertaken to validate the slope-based J equations. The universal slope-based J-integral methods provide a reliable alternative to the measurement of G for adhesive joints or laminated composites undergoing nonlinear or inelastic deformations where conventional LEFM is not valid. It is shown that LEFM, even when coupled with an effective crack length approach, can be inaccurate when damage occurs in a test specimen away from the fracture process zone, as was seen here in mode II. Slope-based J equations can avoid these inaccuracies with a careful selection of contour paths. Slope based methods are therefore strong candidates for selection in future test standards for mode II fracture characterisation of structural adhesive joints.
