A Photoelastic Investigation into the Effects of Cracks and Boundary Conditions on Stress Intensity Factors in Bonded Specimens

An investigation into the influence of cracks in bonded specimens is conducted. Photoelastic specimens containing a bondline are subjected to a constant displacement boundary condition created by bonded end grips. Specimens containing various crack orientations are analyzed to determine stress inten...
