Fracture research of adhesive-bonded joints for GFRP laminates under mixed-mode loading condition

The mixed-mode fracture characterization of adhesively bonded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) plate joints is studied based on theoretical and experimental techniques. An improved beam model is used to estimate the compliance and the mixed-mode energy release rate (ERR) for GFRP four-point mix...

description The mixed-mode fracture characterization of adhesively bonded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) plate joints is studied based on theoretical and experimental techniques. An improved beam model is used to estimate the compliance and the mixed-mode energy release rate (ERR) for GFRP four-point mixed-mode bending specimens. In this model, the deformation of the upper and lower GFRP plates is mutually independent, and the deformable adhesive is considered to satisfy the displacement compatibility conditions on the bonding interface. The explicit theoretical solutions of the compliance and ERR using the compliance method are reduced. The present theoretical solutions fit well with the finite element solutions by comparison with the rigid joint model. From the critical loads in experiment, the variation in fracture toughness on mixed-mode I/II has been determined by modifying the stiffness of the composite GFRP/GFRP substrate.
