The Cyclic Fatigue Behaviour of Adhesive Joints

Abstract

The work has progressed well and we have: (1) Developed an automatic data acquisition method; (2) Determined the compliance of the specimen, both experimentally and theoretically; (3) Measured the static adhesive fracture energy, G sub c; and, (4) Measured the cyclic fatigue behavior at 25 dec C and 55% r.h.
