Effect of Crack Length on Mixed-Mode Cohesive Fracture of the Adhesively Bonded Joints

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the mixed-mode cohesive fracture behavior of adhesively bonded joints was investigated based on numerical analysis. A modified version of Arcan specimen was employed to conduct a mixed-mode fracture test using a special loading device. A full range of mixed-mode loading conditions including pure mode-I and pure mode-II loading were created by ABAQUS software. This test method is a simple procedure, clamping/unclamping the specimens is easy to achieve and only one type of specimen is required to generate all loading conditions. Finite element analyses were carried out on specimens with different adherends in order to investigate deeply about cohesive fracture behavior of adhesively bonded joints.
