Crack Path Selection in Adhesively Bonded Joints

Crack Path Selection in Adhesively Bonded Joints

This dissertation is to obtain an overall understanding of the crack path selection in adhesively bonded joints. Using Dow Chemical epoxy resin DER 331® with various levels of rubber concentration as an adhesive, and aluminum 6061-T6 alloy with different surface pretreatments as the adherends, bot...
