Abstract

Adhesive bonding is a viable alternative to traditional joining systems (e.g., riveting or welding) for a wide class of components
belonging to electronic, automotive, and aerospace industries. However, adhesive joints often contain flaws; therefore, the
development of such technology requires reliable knowledge of the corresponding fracture properties. This study deals with
ideology to obtain a specific Traction-Separation Law based on the problem for PMMA/Epoxy adhesive joint along with crackgrowth propagation and crack length relation establishment, on Mode-I conditions. This information is valuable for predicting the
durability of a structure containing adhesively bonded joints.
