Abstract:
It has been generally reported that an increase in strain rate can lead to reduced joint strength. This significant outcome draws into question any validation techniques carried out at quasi-static conditions with the possible result of producing non-conservative designs. This chapter begins with a review of the literature before describing experiments by the authors to characterise dynamic joint failure and predictive methods for cohesive failure and substrate/adhesive crack interaction. Its conclusions highlight the usefulness of using numerical methods to gain better understanding of critical ...
