This book reviews recent research in the field of fatigue and fracture of adhesively-bonded composite joints. The first part of the book discusses the experimental investigation of the reliability of adhesively-bonded composite joints, current research on understanding damage mechanisms, fatigue and fracture, durability and ageing as well as implications for design. The second part of the book covers the modelling of bond performance and failure mechanisms in different loading conditions. INDICE: Part 1 Understanding fatigue and fracture: Experimental investigation of the reliability of adhesively-bonded composite joints; Understanding damage mechanisms in adhesively-bonded composite joints under fatigue loading; Understanding fatigue and fracture behaviour of adhesively-bonded composite joints; Understanding the durability of adhesively-bonded composite joints; Understanding ageing processes in adhesively-bonded composite joints; Key issues in the design of adhesively-bonded composite joints. Part 2 Modelling of fatigue and fracture: Simulating mode 1 fatigue crack propagation in adhesively-bonded composite joints; Simulation of mixed mode fatigue delamination/de-bonding in adhesively-bonded composite joints; Simulation of mixed mode fatigue delamination in multidirectional composite laminates; Predicting damage in adhesively-bonded composite joints; Predicting the fatigue life of adhesively-bonded composite joints.
