Table 2 Fracture loads of ECT and 6PBP tests

From: The use of ECT and 6PBP tests to evaluate fracture behavior of adhesively bonded steel/epoxy joints under Mode-III and Mixed Mode III/II

	*Test no.*	*ECT*					*6PBP (a₀ = 30 mm)*
	*Test no.*	a₀ *= 10 mm*	a₀ *= 15 mm*	a₀ *= 20 mm*	a₀ *= 25 mm*	a₀ *= 30 mm*	*Type I*	*Type II*	*Type III*
