The adhesive used was a toughened epoxy resin, with the bond thickness varying from a few micrometers to 0.6 mm. The development of a plastic deformation zone at the crack tip was monitored in real-time using a high-magnification video camera. Within the plastic zone the adhesive shear strain, determined from scratch marks applied to the specimen edge, was uniform across the bond except for several bond thicknesses long region just ahead of the crack tip where, depending on bond thickness, noticeable strain gradients may develop. The experimental results suggest that the critical shear strain at the crack tip is a viable fracture criterion. A simplified analysis for the cracked bond which is based on the technical theory of beams/plates and which considers nonlinear adhesive behavior was developed. The model prediction for the increase in the plastic deformation zone with load and the distribution of shear strain within the zone agreed well with the experimental results. An expression for the energy dissipated by the advancing crack was derived which accounted for the nonlinearity in the load vs. deflection curve observed in the fracture experiments and allowed G IIC to be calculated from easily measurable test parameters.
