Abstract
The everyday experience shows that in a given range of temperatures and velocities, the peeling of an adhesive tape is jerky with emission of a characteristic noise. This phenomenon of self sustained oscillations (stick-slip) often described for peeling [1–10] is also observed in other fracture mechanics geometries such as tearing [11–13], wedge loaded double cantilever beams (DCB) [14–22], double torsion [23–29] and blister pressurized by incompressible liquid [30]. All these tests are characterized by the fact that the strain energy release rate G does not increase with the crack length, otherwise a single velocity jumps would occur [31]. The main experimental results are the following:
-
1/
When the imposed cross-head velocity increases, stick-slip appears abruptly with a large amplitude (defined by the difference between Gi for crack initiation and Ga for crack arrest) at a given velocity (depending on temperature), and its amplitude decreases as the cross-head velocity is further increased, until stable propagation is observed anew [1,7,24,26,27]. Generally it is the peak value Gi which decreases, Ga remaining more or less constant or increasing slowly.
