This study analyzes the delamination behavior in mode I, under static and fatigue loading, in adhesive joints on a composite material with an epoxy matrix and unidirectional carbon fiber reinforcement (CFRP). The samples were exposed in a climate chamber at 60°C and 70% relative humidity for different periods (no exposure, 1, 2, and 4 weeks). Subsequently, standardized DCB tests were performed to evaluate the effect of environmental aging on interlaminar fracture toughness and adhesive strength. After an initial static characterization, reference parameters for fatigue tests were defined, obtaining initiation (ΔG–N) and crack growth (G–da/dN) curves. The initiation data were analyzed using a Weibull probabilistic model. The results show a change in the epoxy adhesive behavior with exposure time, evidenced by a reduction in the fatigue limit and an increase in crack propagation rates.
