Failure of a ductile adhesive layer constrained by hard adherends
Article Abstract:
In this study the elastic-plastic stress around the near-tip crack within a constrained adhesive layer is examined. Results indicate that decreases in bond thickness increases the stress ahead of a crack-tip leading to a decrease in the fracture toughness.

Estimation of steady-state creep behavior of Al2O3/YAG eutectic composite by image-based finite element analysis
Article Abstract:
An image-based finite element analysis for estimating the steady state creep behavior of the Al2O3/YAG eutectic composite is proposed. The effect of volume fraction of the constituents on the steady state creep behavior of the Al2O3/YAG eutectic composite is examined.

Effect of bond thickness on the fracture toughness of adhesive joints
Article Abstract:
The microstructures of the bond-thickness effect on the fracture toughness of compact tension (CT) adhesive-joint specimens with different bond thickness were investigated. The results reveal that the primary causes of variations in the fracture toughness of an adhesive joint with the bond thickness are not only a damage zone around the tip but also the combinations of a damage zone around a crack tip and additional damage zones along the interfaces.
