Adhesive joints usually experience mixed mode and mostly cyclic stresses conditions during their service life. The aim of the current research is to investigate the fatigue behaviour of a structural epoxy adhesive. Pure modes I and II and mixed mode tests were carried out to study the fracture and fatigue crack growth (FCG) behaviour of the adhesive. Compliance‐based beam method was considered for experimental fracture energy measurement. The effects of load level and load ratio on the mode I FCG behaviour and Paris law parameters were also investigated. Result showed that the effect of load level on fatigue crack propagation is more pronounced for lowerRratios. It was found that when the crack faces are closer during the unloading process, the difference between theR2andGmin/Gmaxis higher. Some possibilities are the crack closure phenomenon, difficulty in measuring theGmin, and the employed data reduction approach.
