The paper presents an interfacial crack problem adopted for studying fracture toughness and debonding tolerance of sandwich composite materials. A specific example of the fracture sandwich specimens such as a double cantilever sandwich beam subjected to uneven bending moments (DCB-UBM) is considered. A finite element modelling of this test method is carried out using the ABAQUS™ code. Atwo-dimensional (2-D) model has been developed to highlight the distribution of stress and displacement fields and to calculate the energy release rate (ERR) and the phase angle at the interface crack between two dissimilar orthotropic materials. The J − integral approach built-in ABAQUS code and the crack surface displacement method programmed as an add-on subroutine within the Matlab® environment are used for computing those fracture parameters. The influence of different moment ratios on the near crack tip stress state, the ERR, and phase angle fracture parameters is estimated.
