In this study, a new adhesive contact model is built upon boundary element method (BEM) developed by Pohrt and Popov (2015). The strain energy release rate (SERR) on the edge of bonding interface evaluated using Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT) which shown to have better accuracy weaker mesh-size dependency than closed-form SERR formula derived Popov. A composite delamination criterion pr...
