An Improved Method for the Fracture Cleavage Testing of Adhesively-Bonded Wood

This work describes the development of an improved mode I fracture testing procedure for adhesively-bonded wood, and demonstrates the sensitivity of this approach. The two significant improvements were: 1) the use of the flat double cantilever beam (DCB) geometry, which has been uncommon for wood a...
