Damage Parameters of Adhesive Joints with General Triaxiality Part I: Finite Element Analysis

In part 1 of this paper, the triaxiality function of several adhesive joints was investigated using the finite element method. The main aim of this investigation was to decide on the most suitable joint type for fatigue experimental tests, which can be used to control triaxiality in adhesive layers. These fatigue experimental tests are presented in this paper (part 2). In part 1 of this paper, three types of adhesive joints were considered....
