Fatigue crack growth properties of a two-part acrylic-based adhesive in an adhesive bonded joint: Double cantilever-beam tests under Mode I loading

Fatigue lifetime is one of the most important factors that need to be considered when determining a material’s design. This study deals with fatigue behaviors in adhesive bonded joints. Fatigue tests were conducted using double cantilever beam specimens to measure the fatigue crack growth properties of the DP8005 acrylic-based adhesive under Mode I loading on aluminum alloy, glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene matrix composite (GF/PP), and...
