Abstract
Herein, a novel adhesive joint that mimics the structure of the bondline of two biological systems that have excellent adhesion, gecko and mytilus californianus, was designed. Sacrificial cracks were embedded inside the adhesive layers to activate new dissipative mechanisms and thus increase the effective interlaminar fracture toughness. A finite element model (FEM) that considered the progressive damage in the adhesive layer and decohesion at...
