Additional Interface Corner Toughness Data for an Adhesively-bonded Butt Joint

International Journal of Fracture Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Over a period of 15 months, five sets of adhesively-bonded butt joints were fabricated and tested. This previously unreported data is used to assess the variability of measured interface corner toughness values, Kac, as well as the dependence of Kac on surface preparation. A correlation between Kac and the size of the adhesive failure zone is also noted.
