Mixed Mode I/II Fracture Analysis of Bi-Material Adhesive Bonded Joints Using a Novel Short Beam Specimen

Until now, some test specimens with different shapes and loading mechanisms have been utilized for investigating the cracking behavior of adhesive bounded joints. In this research, using a novel configuration called short bend beam specimen containing an inclined crack loaded by three-point bending, mixed mode I/II fracture parameters initiated in part is studied. Compared to other methods, used research needs lesser amount material can be performed easily. A large number finite element models were analyzed ABAQUS code study effect adherent type, also length span distance on KI, KII, T-stress initiation direction under mixities. The results showed that (and particular shear component) are sensitive type location joint; however, shape size plastic zone not affected noticeably adhesive-adherent materials. It was shown complete mixities ranging from pure I II introduced joints proposed therefore good candidate
