In real applications, adhesive joints are subjected to mixed mode I+II loading. The tests developed for mixed-mode loading are complex but considered highly relevant for fracture characterization. There are several mixed-mode tests, of which the Mixed-Mode Bending (MMB) test stands out for its capacity to allow the variation of the mixed-mode ratio practically without limitations. However, although there are several proposals for MMB test device configurations, this test is still considered complex, and some of the current solutions do not allow performing the test on stiffer materials. In this work, the main objective is to design, numerically model and experimentally validate an MMB test equipment to perform structural adhesive tests. Experimentally, it is intended to design and manufacture the MMB test equipment, and subsequently carry out the respective tests. The end result should be an equipment that enables obtaining various mixed-mode combinations, using a single equipment and the same type of test specimen, for further application in the design of adhesively-bonded joints. The equipment was validated by fabricating and testing adhesive joints, although further validation should contemplate estimating the mixed-mode behaviour of adhesive joints and comparing it with literature data.
