Journal ArticleDOI
The continuum interpretation for fracture and adhesion.
TL;DR: Continuum fracture concept indicating essential surface energy interpretation difference in otherwise similar adhesive and cohesive failures as discussed by the authors is used to explain the difference in surface energy interpretations of cohesive failures and adhesive failures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesive fracture mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, it was pointed out that the value of the adhesive fracture energy depends on surface preparation, curing conditions, and absorbed monolayers, and a test method reported makes use of a disk whose peripheral part is bonded to a substrate material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaction‐Rate Model for Fracture in Polymeric Fibers
TL;DR: In this article, a reaction-rate molecular model was proposed to explain some of the deformation and bond-rupture behavior leading to fracture of nylon 6 fibers, and the model was successfully correlated with experimental stress, strain, and bond•rupture results for creep, constant-rate‐ofloading, and cyclic stress tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
The fracture threshold for an adhesive interlayer
TL;DR: In this article, an infinite lateral-length elastic plate strip bonded through a Winkler elastic foundation to a rigid substrate is assumed, in which the plate is separated from the adhesive layer by internal pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture behavior in nylon 6 fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, a reaction rate molecular model was proposed to explain some of the deformation and bond rupture behavior leading to fracture of nylon 6 fibers, and the probability of bond rupture was controlled by reaction-rate theory with a stress-aided activation energy and behavior of various loadings determined by numerical techniques.
