An analysis of the process of stick-slip in the 90-degrees peel test i
s carried out using a slender-elastic-beam theory which considers both
stretching and bending of the film. Using an energy-based crack propa
gation criterion, it is shown that the intersection between the energy
release rate curve and the interface toughness cur-ve delineates the
limit cycle on the interface toughness versus crack-growth rate plane
for stick-slip 90-degrees peeling. As a result of this analysis, it ha
s been found that the effects of bending are significant and cannot be
neglected in the general case. In addition, the stick-slip period and
frequency have been found to depend on Young's modulus, and the thick
ness and length of the free film, and the dependence differs for the b
ending-dominant and stretching-dominant peel tests.
