For mode II fracture in the presence of nano-particles, these laws are calculated from three data reduction schemes for describing the bridging zone and trapezoidal traction¨Cseparation law parameters. For the calculation of the energy release rate in mode II fracture, three corresponding data reduction schemes, compliance calibration method, corrected beam theory and compliance-based beam method, have been utilized for different percentages of nano-particles in the adhesives and the adherents %K Adhesive %K bridging laws %K nano-materials %K traction¨Cseparation %K fracture %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0731684418761001
