Abstract
This paper presents the experimental investigation on adhesive joint under three loading angles using a modified Arcan jig. Fracture test was performed using the fabricated Arcan specimens and Araldite adhesive with loading angle of 0°, 90° and 45° to represent Mode I, Mode II and mixed Mode loading, respectively. Eighteen specimens were prepared with adhesive thickness of 6 mm and nine of them with interface crack length of 5 mm. The result shows the stress intensity factor, K is influenced by the loading angle and the initial crack-line directions. KI was found greater than KII .
