Abstract

The adhesive fracture energy, G c, of adhesive joints may be readily ascertained from linear-elastic fracture-mechanics (LEFM) methods, and indeed a British Standard (BS7991-2001) now exists for the LEFM Mode I value, G Ic, largely as a result of the efforts of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) TC4 Committee, as described by Blackman and Kinloch [1]. Notwithstanding, the LEFM test specimens are relatively complex and expensive to make and test, and many industries would far prefer to deduce the value of G c from the very common and widely used ‘peel test’.
