Abstract
A flexural peel (FP) technique was developed to study the crack growth behavior along a bimaterial interface. The technique was based on a sandwich specimen where one arm of the specimen was peeled away from the interface under a combined tensile and shear mode. An approximate linear elastic fracture mechanics solution was derived analytically from the J integral formulation. The solution was compared to finite element calculations based on the crack closure method and experimental measurements. From the finite element analysis, ratios of the mode-I and mode-II components of the crack tip field were determined for a wide range of modulus and thickness ratios.
