Mixed-mode fracture characteristics of metal-to-metal adhesively bonded joints: experimental and simulation methods. (2017)
Journal Article
DROUBI, M.G., MCAFEE, J., HORNE, R.C., WALKER, S., KLAASSEN, C., CRAWFORD, A., PRATHURU, A.K. and FAISAL, N.H. 2017. Mixed-mode fracture characteristics of metal-to-metal adhesively bonded joints: experimental and simulation methods. Procedia structural integrity [online], 5: proceedings of the 2nd International conference on structural integrity (ICSI 2017), 4-7 September 2017, Funchal, Portugal, pages 40-47. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prostr.2017.07.059

Fracture behavior of adhesively bonded joints subjected to mixed-mode (i.e. mode I+II) loading conditions is of importance in many industrial applications. This research therefore aims to characterise the failure behaviour of metal-to-metal (i.e. bot...

Available from: https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/195/1/012011

In this study, the effect on nanoparticle emissions due to drilling on Polypropylene (PP) reinforced with 20% talc, 5% montmorillonite (MMT) and 5% Wollastonite (WO) is investigated. The study is the first to explore the nanoparticle release from WO...
