Abstract
This study investigates dynamic behavior in Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) tests across loading rates from 6 mm/min to 3 m/s. Comprehensive instrumentation has been used to investigate the sources of measurement errors (load, opening and crack length) or biases (asymmetry) and to quantify their effects on the fracture toughness determination using three variations of the Corrected Beam Theory. In particular, challenges in establishing zero load and displacement references were revealed through monitoring initial test phases. The resulting uncertainties in the fracture toughness have been estimated to be between 7 and 15%. Arms asymmetry during higher loading rates (1 m/s and 3 m/s) has been recorded using Digital Images Correlation. Using this data and a simple beam model, mode mixity ( from Williams approach) computed is in the order of 10%–20%.
期刊介绍：
Mechanics Research Communications publishes, as rapidly as possible, peer-reviewed manuscripts of high standards but restricted length. It aims to provide:
• a fast means of communication
• an exchange of ideas among workers in mechanics
• an effective method of bringing new results quickly to the public
• an informal vehicle for the discussion
• of ideas that may still be in the formative stages
The field of Mechanics will be understood to encompass the behavior of continua, fluids, solids, particles and their mixtures. Submissions must contain a strong, novel contribution to the field of mechanics, and ideally should be focused on current issues in the field involving theoretical, experimental and/or applied research, preferably within the broad expertise encompassed by the Board of Associate Editors. Deviations from these areas should be discussed in advance with the Editor-in-Chief.
