The Mode I fracture energy of a polyurethane adhesive with low Young’s modulus was investigated. Metal adherends in standardized double cantilever beam (DCB) tests are typically too stiff for soft adhesives, making it difficult to measure the fracture energy accurately. However, soft adhesives, such as a single-component polyurethane adhesive tested in this paper, are in high demand in the automobile industry. Thus, accurate measurement techniques must be established. Flexible substrates composed of spring steel were used for the DCB tests to accommodate the deformation of the adhesive layer. First, the applicability of the flexible substrates was discussed using specimens bonded with an epoxy adhesive. For soft adhesives, however, the deformation of the adhesive layer must be considered in the calculation methods of the fracture energy. Although the deformation effect on the DCB tests has been discussed with Winkler’s elastic foundation, the crack length must be measured along with the load and d...
