Representativity of the singular stress state in the failure of adhesively bonded joints between metals and composites
Several critical points, where both geometry and material properties change abruptly, arise in an adhesively bonded lap joint between a metallic and a composite material. These critical points, called multimaterial corners or cross-points, at which the linear theory of elasticity predicts unbounded...

| Summary: | Several critical points, where both geometry and material properties change abruptly, arise in an adhesively bonded lap joint between a metallic and a composite material. These critical points, called multimaterial corners or cross-points, at which the linear theory of elasticity predicts unbounded (singular) stresses, are potential points for failure initiation. In this work, a complete stress characterization at these multimaterial corners has been carried out to analyze, after a preliminary experimental test program, the suitability of the application of the parameters defining the singular stress state in the characterization of the failure of these joints. The comparative analysis of the numerical and experimental results obtained show that the singular stress state controlled by a series of the generalized stress intensity factors is controlling the failure path at these corners. |
