An elastic finite element analysis was conducted to evaluate the stress distribution in the initiation zone of the adhesive rupture during the 3-point bending test. This test is used to measure the adherence between a polyepoxy adhesive and aluminum alloy with different surface treatments. The purpose is to compare, in the high stress concentration areas, the stress fields calculated using fini...

In this paper, extensive three-dimensional finite element analysis is conducted to study an asymmetric four-point shear (AFPS) specimen: a widely used mixed-mode I/II fracture test specimen. Complete solutions of mechanics parameters KI, KII, KIII, T11, and T33 have been obtained for wide range a/W t/W geometry combinations. It demonstrated that the thickness specimen has significant effect on ...
