Abstract
The definition of the specimen dimensions in mode II fracture tests of bonded joints, where large Fracture Process Zones (FPZ) occur, is still an issue to be solved. Several conditions shall be met in order to obtain propagation values in bonded joints testing; stability of the test, full FPZ formation, and avoidance of large deflections and adherend failure. This work presents a methodology that indicates the specimen dimensions needed to...
