Adhesives in bonded parts are frequently subjected to varying degrees of direct and indirect strain. The capacity of adhesives to endure such strains is crucial to ensure bonds remain reliable and ...

In my May 2020 CW column, I introduced a new test method for measuring the fracture toughness within the facesheet-to-core interface region of sandwich composites. This proposed test method, referred ...

Material resistance to crack growth and fracture is known as fracture toughness (K c), which determines the structural integrity of brittle materials by characterizing the rate at which energy is ...
