Abstract: Because of environmental issues, the regulations on gas emission from fossil fuels become stricter. Some investigations are being carried out actively to change the fossil fuel power into electrical power. Researches on the reduction of weight in the transportation machine is also executed. Weight reduction is one of the methods of reducing the gas emission and increasing the range of electrically powered machines. The method of weight reduction includes the development of light weight material and light weight structure design method. FRP is the most representative light weight material. Among various FRP materials, (CFRP) has the highest specific strength. Light weight structure design method includes the method of designing the structure by converting the bonding method with bolts and rivets to adhesion method with the use of adhesives. In order to pursue the research on the adhesive structure design method, the research on adhesion exfoliation by using CZM needs to be carried out. There are the researches with various methods in accordance with the style of adhesion exfoliation load and material designs. In this study, the adhesion exfoliation on the tearing fracture of tapered double cantilever beam configuration was applied to the research. Research model was composed by applying the gradient angles of 6° and 8° to TDCB. The model with the gradient angle of 8° has less fracture due to adhesion than that of 8°. The basic data on structural design of adhesion structure were provided by comparatively analyzing the research models. This research was carried out by using finite element analysis method in this study. Finite element analysis method has the advantage of reducing the cost and time taken for experiments in researches. Therefore, the finite element analysis program, ANSYS, was used in this study.
