Response and Failure of Adhesively Bonded Automotive Composite Structures under Impact Loads
An experimental technique for conducting low speed impact of adhesively bonded automotive composite joints is presented. Based on the use of a modified drop tower, mode I, II, and mixed mode values for critical energy release rate were determined for a composite/epoxy system and used to create a fr...
