Mixed numerical/experimental variability analysis of viscoelastic behaviour of adhesively bonded joints KU Leuven
The evolution in adhesive bonding technology is characterised by a continuously improving mechanical performance. Therefore this joining technique is used in various industrial applications, even for critical joints. However, in case of dynamic loads, dynamic load amplitudes which are applied to the adhesive (joint) itself usually remain low. Up to now most research activities concerning dynamically loaded adhesively bonded joints deal with the ...
