The advent of digital image and volume correlation has attracted wide use in fracture
mechanics. The full‐field nature of digital image and volume correlation allows for the …

Cohesive zone model (CZM) has been extensively applied in numerical simulation of
interfacial fracture behaviors such as composite delamination and fracture of adhesive …

This work describes a method in which the digital image correlation (DIC) method and finite
element analysis (FEA) were used to create a quasi-static mixed-mode fracture envelope for …

The quasi-static Mode I fracture behaviour of joints bonded with either a brittle or toughened
epoxy adhesive or a ductile polyurethane adhesive has been investigated by means of …

Digital-image correlation (DIC) is used to analyze an adhesively-bonded double-cantilever
beam (DCB), and to determine the traction-separation law for a cohesive-zone model. The …

Advanced polymeric composites are increasingly used in high-performance aircraft
structures to reduce weight and improve efficiency. However, a major challenge delaying the …

The present work addresses two key issues relating to the study of rate effects in adhesively
bonded joints. Firstly, the accurate determination of the crack tip strain rate and secondly the …

This paper describes the development of a dual-actuator loading device that was then used
to apply asymmetric, transverse end-displacements to laminated beam specimens …

This paper aims to investigate the traction separation relationship in mode I and mode II by
using the closed form of J-integral along the exterior boundary of double cantilever beam …

This study investigates the high loading rate behavior of adhesively bonded carbon/epoxy
composite joints under mode I loading. A computationally guided experimental setup is …
