The main goal of this study is to quantify the effect of temperature on Mode I fracture toughness for a ductile adhesive. Later, this set of material parameters was used to simulate a Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) sample with various shapes of Traction-separation models to better capture the gradual failure of the adhesive under different thermal operating conditions.
