ABSTRACT A comprehensive literature review on the existing analytical models based on
different material and geometry behaviors for both single and double-lap joints (as well as …

Crack initiation of scarf adhesive joints with similar adherends is predicted through 2D and
3D applications of the coupled criterion. The joint adhesive crack initiation topology and …

Adhesive joints are being increasingly used as a good solution to assemble primary
structures of metallic and composite materials. Hence, the analysis of the behaviour of …

Structral bonding is a very advantageous technique for lots of application fields such as
aeronautics or marine industry, which require both advanced performances and lightweight …

To investigate the mode I fracture properties of adhesively bonded joints after water ageing,
the authors reduced here the width of Tapered Double Cantilever Beam (TDCB) specimens …

This paper presents a finite element numerical method to assess the stress state and
gradients induced by thermo-oxidative ageing in Ti/epoxy/Ti adhesively bonded joints for …

This study aims to describe a toughened adhesive's ratcheting–recovery behavior under
reversed cyclic load using a viscoelastic–viscoplastic model. As most adhesives are based …

In the context of increasing use of adhesive bonding for mechanical assembly, there is a
need for reliable design tools. Both energetic and stress based conditions are necessary to …

Non-destructive monitoring of damage evolution within material or bonding assembly
becomes an essential tool to better understand its mechanical behavior, and therefore to …

This paper presents a numerical inverse method dedicated to the characterization of
adhesive joints under multiaxial and dynamic loading conditions. The properties under …
