Abstract:During the damage evolution of bonded joints, different modes of failure can be detected. These modes include pure modes (Mode I, Mode II, Mode III) or their combinations (Mixed-mode) according to the type and the direction of loading. Some scientifically validated test methods are commonly used to obtain the fracture toughness by loading under pure Mode I, Mode II and their Mixed-mode. Some test methods were established to obtain the fracture toughness by loading under pure Mode III, however further research … Show more
