Parameter Identification of a Damage Model for the Lifetime Prediction of Adhesively Bonded Joints

Article Preview

Abstract:

A damage model for thin adhesively bonded joints is presented, which predicts the time to creep-fatigue failure of the joint subjected to combined static and cyclic sustained loadings with constant or variable amplitudes. The influences of particular model parameters on the predicted lifetime are elaborated suggesting the proposed stepwise parameter identification strategy by means of creep and Wöhler fatigue tests until rupture. The parameters are identified and computationally optimized. As a conclusion, the model prediction is verified and validated.
