Shear Properties of an Adhesive Layer Exposed to a Compressive Load
Abstract Adhesive joints are designed to transfer load in shear since both the fracture energy and the fracture stress are larger in shear than in peel. Shear deformation is isochoric, however, the fracture process involves nucleation and growth of...
