Effect of Triaxiality on Damage Parameters in Adhesive

Article Preview

Abstract:

Adhesive in joints will have complex stress state rather than bulk adhesives. This will lead to the assumption behind bulk adhesive that triaxiality function (Rv) is equal to one (uni-axial stress state) is not valid anymore. In this paper, new procedure to find damage parameters α and β for single-lap joints has been developed based on global damage of adhesive joints. With this procedure, damage parameters α and β have been found. Validating the procedure by calculating the number of cycles to failure (Nf) has been performed successfully. The accuracy of the damage evolution equation is less than 2 %.
