Direct and Simultaneous Extraction of Mixed-Mode Traction-Separation Relations

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Traction-separation relations can be used to represent the interactions between two surfaces during separation. In the past, characterizing these interactions, particularly under mixed-mode conditions has been tedious. In this work, a direct method is proposed to simultaneously determine the normal and shear components of traction-separation relations at any mode-mix, based solely on measurements of the initial crack length, load and load-line displacement and rotation of each adherend in a laminated beam configuration.
