Effect of the adhesive thickness on butt adhesive joints under torsional loads

Effect of Bond Thickness on Fracture Behaviour in Adhesive Joints

(2001) Effect of bond thickness on fracture behaviour in adhesive joints. To study the effects of bond thickness on the fracture behaviour of adhesive joints, experimental investigation and finite element analysis have been carried out for compact tension (CT) and double-cantilever-beam (DCB) specimens with different bond thickness. Fractography and fracture toughness exhibited apparent variati...

Effect of Adhesive Thickness on the Intensity of Singular Stress at the Adhesive Dissimilar Joint*

Abstract This paper deals with the singular stress field at the adhesive dissimilar joint, and discusses the effect of material combination and adhesive thickness on the intensity of the singular stress when bonded strip is subjected to tension. A useful method to calculate the intensity of singular stress at the adhesive dissimilar joint is presented with focusing on the stresses at the edge c...

Reliability analysis of bonded joints with variations in adhesive thickness

On the Toughness of Ductile Adhesive Joints

Crack propagation along one of the interfaces between a thin ductile adhesive layer and the elastic substrates it joins is considered. The layer is taken as being elastic-plastic, and the fracture process of the interface is modeled by a traction-separation law, characterized by the peak separation stress 6 and the work of separation per unit area To. Crack growth resistance curves for mode I l...

Effect of Adhesive Stiffness and Thickness on Stress Distributions in Structural Finger Joints

Environmental, political. and socioeconomic actions over the past several years have resulted in a decreased wood supply at a time when there is an increased demand for forest products. This combination of increased demand and decreased supply has forced more emphasis on engineered wood products, a varied category usually connected with adhesively-bonded end joints, of which the most common typ...
