Static and fatigue strength of an adhesive bonded CFRP butt-strap joint, the effects of stacking sequence and temperature

Influence of environmental ageing and displacement rate on crack resistance of adhesives, as determined on adhesive bonded TDCB-specimens

Fracture toughness measurements were carried out to test the ageing behaviour of three adhesives in different environments. It was possible to compare and evaluate adhesives and surface pretreatments. It is doubtful whether the derived R-curves could be used for residual strength calculations in certain environments. Phosphoric acid anodizing...

User's manual of ARREST, a computer routine for prediction of residual strength of cracked stiffened panels

This report gives a detailed description of the computer program ARREST and of the execution of it in determining the residual strength diagram of cracked stiffened panels. The essentials of the computer program are dealt with in chapters 1 through 5, whereas the derivation of the equations together with the program flow charts ajid the program...
