  • Process zone in the Single Cantilever Beam under transverse loading. - Part I: Theoretical analysis

    Publication

    - THEORETICAL AND APPLIED FRACTURE MECHANICS - Year 2011

    Single Cantilever Beam (SCB) specimen loaded with a transverse force parallel to the crack front is proposed for the analysis of crack propagation phenomena under mixed mode conditions. The stress redistribution in the adhesive layer in the vicinity of the crack front so as the beam deformation are estimated using a Timoshenko beam on elastic foundation model. This model emphasizes the Mode II contribution due to flexural beam...

  • An in situ technique for the assessment of adhesive properties of a joint under load

    Publication

    - INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FRACTURE - Year 2011

    Slow crack propagation in adhesive bonded joints has been characterised using an asymmetric wedge test. Crack position was evaluated from strain gauge measurements, both in the debonded partof the joint and in the bonded zone. Test temperature was changed during loading, giving insight into bond evolution. The technique allows accurate, and virtually continuous, determination of crack position to be made, and therefore the evaluation...

  • On the crack front curvature in bonded joints

    Publication

    - THEORETICAL AND APPLIED FRACTURE MECHANICS - Year 2012

    Standard tests of adhesively bonded specimens are likely to produce heterogeneous stress distribution along the crack front and its vicinity. High separation rate mode I dominated fracture test is performed.Observation of post mortem fractured surfaces with an optical microscope reveals characteristic features of mixed mode I/III fracture near the sides of the specimen but not in the middle. At first, finite elements calculations...
