Strain-based methodology for mixed-mode I plus II fracture: A new partitioning method for bi-material adhesively bonded joints: A new partitioning method for bi-material adhesively bonded joints

The dissemination of composite materials introduces applications of hybrid structures with composite and metal parts. The development of reliable methodologies to evaluate the performance of these structures is required. In this work, the mixed-mode fracture behaviour of a bi-material adhesively bonded joint is investigated. A new strain...
