An overview of recent development of cohesive modelling is given. Cohesive models are
discussed in general and specifically for the modelling of adhesive layers. It is argued that …

This paper evaluates and compares two material constitutive models for the finite element
analysis of structural adhesively bonded joints in large industrial bonded structures. The first …

The stress-deformation relation ie cohesive law representing the fracture process in an
almost incompressible adhesive tape is measured using the double cantilever beam …

The mode II properties of adhesives joints are of special interest since these joints are
strongest if loaded in shear. Today no standardized method is available to measure shear …

The present work aims to assess the joint behaviour of friction stir spot welded sandwich
sheets by changing the quality of the epoxy core layer. Lab scale experiments and …

A special purpose finite element is developed for structural simulations of complex
adhesively bonded structures. In the interphase element, the adhesive is explicitly regarded …

Measuring fracture properties of adhesives in Mode II is often problematic. Indeed, no
method can today be regarded as established by the community. In this paper a number of …

ABSTRACT A detailed model of experiments with the double cantilever beam specimen is
set up. Analysis of the model shows that an experimentally deduced apparent increase of …
