Journal ArticleDOI
On the toughness of ductile adhesive joints
TL;DR: In this article, Tvergaard and Hutchinson (1994) applied an embedded fracture zone model to the mode I fracture of an adhesive joint comprised of a thin elastic-plastic metal layer joining two elastic substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fully Plastic Solutions and Large Scale Yielding Estimates for Plane Stress Crack Problems

Journal ArticleDOI
Crack path selection in a brittle adhesive layer
TL;DR: In this paper, an asymptotic elasticity problem is analyzed to predict whether a straight crack path can occur within a brittle adhesive layer, and the location of the crack in terms of the combination of applied intensity factors and the mismatch in elastic moduli between the layer and the adjoining material.
Book ChapterDOI
Interface strength, work of adhesion and plasticity in the peel test
Yueguang Wei,John W. Hutchinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a cohesive zone model is proposed and analyzed for steady-state peeling of a thin rate-independent, elastic-plastic film bonded to an elastic substrate, and a traction-separation description of the interface is embedded within continuum characterizations of the film and substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanics of coating delamination in thermal gradients
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that delaminations, when observed within the oxide layer, can only be explained by the presence of a significant stress gradient in the coating, governed by these thermal circumstances.
