Due to their high elongation at failure and damping capacity, polyurethanes are one of the
main types of adhesives used in automotive structures. However, despite the wide range of …

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

Multidirectional laminates are widely used in practical engineering while delamination is
prone to occur due to relatively weak interlaminar mechanical properties. The delamination …

The current study aims to evaluate the application of the CZM technique in low-cycle impact
fatigue (LC-IF) life analysis of bonded structures by considering the cohesive properties …

Different joint types and geometries have been considered to measure the fracture
toughness (Gc) of adhesives. However, results show that, sometimes, the obtained Gc …

Structural polyurethane adhesives have been developed in recent years. Thin steel
adherends bonded with polyurethane adhesives plastically deform in double cantilever …

In this study, the effect of carbon nanofiber (CNF) alignment was investigated on the
enhancement of mixed mode fracture toughness of CNF/epoxy nanocomposite adhesive …

The synergistic effect of hybridizing and aligning graphene oxide nanoplatelet (GONP) and
multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on the mode-I fracture response of glass …

Adhesive-bonded joints made up of composite materials offer complex structures with the
ease of joining similar or dissimilar materials. The failure behavior of adhesive-bonded joints …

Among all the mechanical joints available in the industry, adhesively bonded joints are
highly regarded due to their unique advantages. Therefore, it is of great importance to …
