Dynamic Fracture of Adhesively Bonded Composite Structures Using Cohesive Zone Models

Dynamic Fracture of Adhesively Bonded Composite Structures Using Cohesive Zone Models

Using experimental data obtained from standard fracture test configurations, theoretical and numerical tools are developed to mathematically describe non-self-similar progression of cracks without specifying an initial crack. A cohesive-decohesive zone model, similar to the cohesive zone model known...
