This review paper discusses the basic problems related to the use of cohesive models to
simulate the initiation and development of failure in various types of engineering issues. The …

Here we review how the interactions of graphene and other 2D materials with their growth
and any target substrates have been characterized. Quantifying such interactions is …

Rate-dependent fracture has been observed for a silicon/epoxy interface as well as other
polymer interfaces, where both the interfacial strength and toughness increase with the …

In this study, the crack lengths in adhesively bonded double cantilever beam (DCB) test
specimens have been determined using the digital image correlation technique in …

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 …

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 …

The Mode I fracture behaviour of adhesive joints, bonded with two different epoxies, was
evaluated applying the direct method to obtain the tensile cohesive law, together with Digital …

In this work, double cantilever beam specimens were used to investigate the rate-dependent
fracture of a silicon/epoxy interface. Fracture experiments were conducted at 5 different …

The traction-separation relationship of an interface is a critical component to understand and
model the delamination behavior of multi-layer composites in situations where large scale …
