Abstract

The double cleavage drilled compression (DCDC) configuration has been analyzed using the finite element method. Mode I and mixed-mode configuration have been described and results presented for the energy release rate, the mixity angle and the crack opening displacement. The results have been expressed as simple analytical formulae having good accuracy. The application of the configuration to interface fracture measurements has been described.
