The R-curve behavior of two different rubber-toughened epoxy adhesives was measured as a function of the mode ratio. A bilinear model was used to characterize the fracture resistance (R-curve) behavior from crack initiation to steady-state crack propagation. Experiments showed that the model paramet

A method to predict the ultimate strength of adhesive joints has been evaluated for the quasi-static loading of a variety of cracked-lap shear (CLS) and single-lap shear (SLS) joints bonded with a high-strength, toughened epoxy adhesive. The adhesive strength was experimentally characterized in term
The effect of molecular weight between crosslinks, M c , on the fracture behavior of rubber-toughened epoxy adhesives was investigated and compared with the behavior of the bulk resins. In the liquid rubber-toughened bulk system, fracture energy increased with increasing M c . However, in the liquid
