Fracture Tests

The study focuses on using fracture mechanics to evaluate mixed-mode fracture properties of adhesively bonded aerospace material systems. As a part of experimental efforts, mixed-mode fracture tests were performed using modified Arcan specimens consisting of several combinations of adhesive, composite and metallic adherends using a special loading device. Experimental and numerical studies of mixed-mode fracture behaviour of adhesively bonded aluminum and steel were also performed using an adhesive in the aerospace industry. Finite element analyses were carried out on specimens with different adherends. Based on those analyses, many fundamental numerical results were obtained.

Fracture Tests

Using the asymmetric semi-circular bend specimen (ASCB) a set of mixed-mode fracture tests were carried out in the full range from pure mode I to pure mode II. The tests were conducted on two polyurethane materials characterized by different properties. The fracture parameters were obtained from experiments and are compared with the predictions based on the generalized MTS criterion (GMTS). The agreement between the experimental results and those predicted based on the GMTS criterion is discussed finally.

Fracture Tests

Fracture behavior under multiaxial stress state of polycrystalline alumina was studied from the view point of an artificial crack propagation and fracture from a natural flaw. The former was studied by mixed-mode fracture toughness tests; asymmetric four-point bending and diametral compression techniques were carried out using precracked and notched specimens. The latter was studied by biaxial fracture tests in compression and torsion loading; multiaxial fracture statistics was applied to the measured fracture envelope. The ratio KIIC/KIC obtained from the biaxial tests was higher than that obtained by the mixed-mode fracture toughness tests. It revealed that the fracture from an artificial flaw does not simulate the fracture from a naturall flaw in polycrystalline ceramics.
