The development of new adhesives has allowed to expand the application of bonding into
the most diverse industrial fields. This review article presents the commonly used …

The equation of the Vickers indentation fracture (VIF) proposed by Moradkhani et al.(J. Adv.
Ceram. 2, 87–102 (2013)) has been used for the determination of indentation fracture …

Accurate determinations of fracture toughness and the bridging law are important for the
design and analysis of composite laminates. In this work, based on the Castigliano theorem …

This study presents a novel method to determine the mode II cohesive law of unidirectional
carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates, employing the End Notched Flexure (ENF) test …

Wedge-insert double cantilever beam (WDCB) is a promising test specimen for measuring
the mode I fracture toughness of composite material subjected to impact and static loadings …

Fracture toughness and bridging law are necessary for characterizing the delamination
behavior with the effect of fiber bridging. Accurate determination of them in a simple way is …

Large scale fiber bridging ahead of the crack tip of ENF specimen is one of the most
common toughening mechnisms, leading to a significant resistance phenomenon on the …

The objective of this work is to define reliable test methodologies and data reduction
methods to obtain comparable results among the most common mode II test methodologies …

This paper aims to discuss the effect mode II type tests have on the cohesive law of bonded
joints. For this reason, an objective inverse method has been developed to extract the …

The pure mode-II fracture behavior of an adhesively bonded glass fiber reinforced polymer
(GFRP)/steel joint was experimentally investigated using a four-point end-notched flexure …
