Mode I Traction-Separation Measured Using Rigid Double Cantilever Beam Applied to Structural Adhesive
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-08-06)Adhesive joining facilitates the development of multi-material vehicle structures; however, widespread adoption requires material properties to characterize adhesive joints for implementation in finite element (FE) models. ... -
A novel cohesive zone modelling approach to represent mixed mode loading and bond line thickness effects
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-02-28)Accurate representation of the traction-separation response for mixed mode loading in a cohesive zone model (CZM) is critical to predicting the response of adhesive joints in a number of applications, including transportation ... -
A Novel Test Geometry for Characterization of Traction-Separation Behaviour in Composite Laminates Under Mode I Delamination
(Springer, 2021-04-16)The integration of composite laminates into automotive structures can provide weight reduction and improvement in occupant safety. However, the adoption of such materials requires characterization and efficient modeling ... -
Quantification of Mixed Mode Loading and Bond Line Thickness on Adhesive Joint Strength Using Novel Test Specimen Geometry
(Elsevier, 2020-10)This study quantifies the effect of mixed mode loading and bond line thickness on adhesive joint strength or automotive structural applications. This research is motivated by the need to address the complex loading that ...
