The size effect in the failure of a hybrid adhesive joint of a metal with a fiber-polymer composite, which has been experimentally demonstrated and analytically formulated in preceding two papers, is here investigated numerically. Cohesive finite elements with a mixed-mode fracture criterion are adopted to model the adhesive layer in the metal-composite interface. A linear tractionseparation so...

Delamination damage is a characteristic which observed in composite laminates. can be very disastrous, hence delamination analysis for any CFRP structure necessary. In this paper epoxy carbon woven (230 GPa) Prepreg laminates was used as the adherend and FM-300K adhesive to form lap shear joint. The model created using ANSYS ACP of done 3D non-linear finite element method. Longitudinal buckling...

BACKGROUND A nonsurgical intervention, interventional microadhesiolysis, was developed to release adhesions in joints and soft tissues. This paper introduces the procedure and evaluates the efficacy of the intervention for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. METHODS Ten patients (five men and five women) with primary adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder were treated at a chronic pain manageme...

BACKGROUND Measuring range of motion (ROM) in the shoulder joint is important for the diagnosis and monitoring of change over time. To what degree passive ROM can be trusted as a reliable outcome measure was examined as part of an on-going randomized controlled trial for patients with shoulder capsulitis. The aim of this study was to examine intertester reliability of passive ROM in the shoulde...

Background: Adhesive capsulitis is a clinical diagnosis made from history of the gradual onset severe shoulderpain with progressive limitation active and passive glenohumeral movements. The most significant loss ofmovement in external rotation joint. Traditionally physical therapists have used an anterior glide ofthe humeral head on glenoid technique to improve range motion choice based ‘convex...

BACKGROUND Corticosteroid injection has a wide range of success in adhesive capsulitis but the reason for this has not yet been explained. We hypothesized that this difference might be due to the distribution of the corticosteroids injected into the joint cavity because particulate steroid deposits in the capsule and will not be moved over time by shoulder motion. OBJECTIVES The purpose of th...

In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of galvanic corrosion on mechanical properties aluminum-CFRP adhesive joints. Aluminum-CFRP, aluminum-aluminum, and CFRP-CFRP joint specimens were prepared. Subsequently, subjected accelerated aging treatment in a salt spray environment, tensile shear strength, transition failure surface deposition state components products with time quantitativel...

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 64(2): 473–479. In this paper the mechanical behaviour of structural two-component epoxy adhesives in T-joints is experimentally investigated. The aim of this study is to analyse t...

Adhesive joints are continuously emerging as candidate to replace traditional fastening systems, such as riveting or welding, in primary structural applications. A wide class of components belonging to electronic, automotive and aerospace industries contains adhesive joints, however, the reliability during service constitutes a major technical problem as these contain flaws. Therefore, their us...
