Damage Tolerance of Adhesive Bonds - Dataset I

Quasi-static and fatigue crack growth tests of metal-metal adhesive bonds. Tests were performed on double cantilever beam specimens, consisting of aluminium-2024-T3 arms bonded using FM 94 epoxy adhesive. Specimens and test procedure were based on ASTM standard ASTM D5528-01. The aim of the experiments was to increase the understanding of (fatigue) crack growth in adhesively bonded joints. Both raw data (crack length, force, and displacement) and derived data (e.g. strain energy release rate) are included.
