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 load-displacement relationship based on the problem for PMMA/Epoxy
adhesive joint along with maximum stress calculations, on Mode-I conditions. The experimental results are validated
using numerical finite element analysis tool as Ansys Workbench 15.0. This information is valuable for predicting the
durability of a structure containing adhesively bonded joints.
