Ductility, recovery and strain rate dependency of an acrylic structural adhesive

The ductility and time-dependent recovery of a ductile acrylic adhesive were investigated in this work. The quasi-static true tensile and compressive strain behaviors were examined at different strain rates, taking large deformations into account. Yield stress, elastic modulus, and failure strain exhibited a logarithmic dependency on increasing strain rate, while yield strain and stiffness after yielding were insensitive to strain rate. High...
