This paper summarizes observations made by the authors over the last few years on the double-cantilever-beam (DCB) coupon and associated testing methodology. The NACE coupon compliance was experimentally determined and the accuracy of calculated stress intensity factors discussed. The difference between 7 and 14 day exposures are shown and a suggestion made for a reduced exposure. The importance of proper fatigue precracking is highlighted and the effect of DCB geometry with respect to out-of-plane cracking discussed.
