Experimental Determination of the Tensile and Shear Behaviour of Adhesives under Impact Loading

A robust analysis of adhesively bonded joints requires valuable input data for simulation. Mechanical properties of adhesives in tensile and shear directions at high deformation rates are necessary, particularly for crash scenarios. Butt joint specimens and lap shear specimens were, therefore, tested under impact loading using a tensile split Hopkinson bar (SHB). In this study, the adhesive deformation was measured using a high-speed camera and...
