Fracture Energetics of Adhesive Joints

  • Chapter
Adhesive Joints

Abstract

In this review, we relate various fracture energetics theories to the types of polymers commonly used in the adhesive joints. The energy-balance concept of Griffith’s fracture criterion is emphasized. The same concept led to the development of various methods of determining the fracture energies (or the failure energies) of both rigid and flexible adhesive joints.
