Characterization and Development of General Material Models for Use in Modeling Structures Bonded with Ductile Adhesives

Structural adhesives are materials that are capable of bearing significant loads in shear, and sometimes tension, over a range of strains and strain rates. Adhesively bonded structures can dissipate large amounts of mechanical energy and can be lighter and more efficient than many bolted or vibratio...
