The Development of a Modified Double Cantilever Beam Specimen for Measuring the Fracture Energy of Rubber to Metal Bonds

Abstract

Rubber to metal bonds are important in a variety of automotive, tire, and marine applications. A new technique is discussed for measuring the strain energy release rates of these adhesively bonded joints in the presence of harsh environments. Guidelines for design and applications are given.
