This paper investigates the effect of environmental conditions on cohesive law composite bonded joints under mode I and II loadings. An inverse method recently developed by authors has been used to extract stress-separation relation from experimental load–displacement curve without considering a predefined shape law. Two types adhesively were tested at three different temperatures, −55 °C, room...

Environmental laws such as CERCLA ("Superfund") address the release of "hazardous substances" by obligating the party releasing the substance to (a) report the relea...
