This aim of this research was to determine the fracture toughness of steel/adhesive/steel joints under mixed mode loadings. A structural and ductile epoxy adhesive was selected in this research. The experimental tests, i. e. Asymmetric Tapered Double Cantilever Beam (ATDCB), Single Leg Bending (SLB) and Asymmetric Double Cantilever Beam (ADCB), were realized to assess the fracture toughness in mixed mode. Experimental tests in pure mode I and II were also realized to complete the fracture envelope. In order to obtain the mode I critical energy release rates, G Ic , the standard Double Cantilever Beam test was used, whilst the critical strain energy release rate in mode II, G IIc , was evaluated with the End Notched Flexure test. For various mixed mode tests, the critical strain energy release rate values were partitioned into mode I and mode II components. One of the main conclusions of the present work is that the introduction of a small amount of mode II loading (shear) in the joint results in a decrease of the total fracture energy, G T = G I + G II , when compared to the pure mode I fracture energy.
