A fracture-mechanics approach has been used to predict the cyclic-fatigue performance of the adhesively-bonded single-lap joint and a typical bonded component, represented by an adhesively-bonded `top-hat' box-beam joint. The joints were tested under cyclic-fatigue loading in either a `wet' or `dry' environment, respectively. Several steps were needed to predict the cyclic-fatigue lifetime of these joints. Firstly, fracture-mechanics tests were used to obtain the relationship between the rate of fatigue crack growth per cycle, da/dN, and the maximum strain-energy release-rate, G max, applied during the fatigue cycle for the adhesive/substrate system under investigation, in both a `dry' and a `wet' test environment. Secondly, analytical and finite-element theoretical models were developed to describe the variation of the strain-energy release-rate with crack length, as a function of the applied fatigue loads, for the single-lap joint and the `top-hat' box-beam joint. Thirdly, the experimental results from the short-term fracture-mechanics tests, obtained under similar test conditions and in the same environment as were used for the single-lap or bonded box-beam joints, were combined with the modelling results from the theoretical studies. This enabled the cyclic-fatigue performance of the single-lap or bonded box-beam joints to be predicted over relatively long time-periods. Finally, the agreement between the theoretical predictions and the experimentally-measured cyclic-fatigue behaviour for the joints was found to be very good.

The impact wedge-peel (IWP) test is an International Standard (ISO 11343) method that is employed to measure the resistance to cleavage fracture of structural adhesives at a relatively high test-rate of 2 to 3 m/s. In the present work this test has been employed to evaluate the performance of a range of structural adhesives when used to bond either steel or aluminium-alloy substrates. Firstly, a novel test arrangement for performing these tests, using a high-speed servohydraulic machine, is described. Tests were performed at 10−4 and 2 m/s and at test temperatures of −40 and 23°C. High-speed photography was also used to investigate the failure of the IWP test specimens. Both stable and unstable types of crack growth were recorded, with the crack propagating cohesively through the adhesive layer in all cases. The methods of data analysis recommended by the International Standard are critically reviewed, and some shortcomings are highlighted. Secondly, the results from the IWP test are then directly correlated to the measured values of the adhesive fracture energies, Gc, of the adhesives, which were determined using a fracture-mechanics approach. Finally, it is demonstrated that, from knowledge of the value of Gc of the adhesive, coupled with a finite-element analysis of the IWP test geometry, the failure behaviour of the IWP specimen may be successfully modelled and predicted.
