title = "Mode mixity for the fracture toughness obtained by climbing drum peel tests",
abstract = "Wind turbine blades include numerous interfaces, which are known to be critical regions for early failure. Thus, reliable testing of interfaces and a solid understanding of the tests used are of utmost importance. The climbing drum peel (CDP) test is a standardized test for characterization of adhesively bonded interfaces, which in literature has been referred to as a possible simple alternative to mode I double cantilever beam testing of composites. The current work uses finite element modeling of the CDP setup to show that it is actually a mixed mode test, and therefore one cannot use it to obtain the mode I fracture toughness. It can, however, be used to compare different interfaces, keeping in mind that the comparison is done for a mode mixity of approximately 40°, and that one adherend has to be thin (around 0.5mm).",
