Abstract: | Interfacial crack growth behavior along a urethane acrylate/glass interface is characterized by the development of finger-like perturbations along the advancing crack front. The finger-like perturbations grow from a slightly irregular crack front until they reach a steady-state where the velocity of the finger tips equals the velocity of the finger valleys. Once the fingers reached steady-state, the crack velocity was dependent on the applied strain energy release rate via a power law relationship where the exponent was independent of test humidity; however, the multiplicative constant A decreased by an order of magnitude from 80 to 15% RH. The spacing of the fingers was found to be independent of the crack's velocity and the relative humidity of the environment. |
