Adhesive strength of butt joint having constant interface stress distribution without singular stress field by Kazuhiro ODA, Masahiro MIHARA, Nao-Aki NODA

“…In the case of failure due to a singular stress field, by calculating the region (process zone) where the average stress is the original strength of the butt joint, σB = 47.7 MPa, it is thought that failure will occur at a position rB = 14.7 μm from the adhesive end. This is almost equal to the fracture origin of a rectangular column butt joint reported in a previous study, and can be said to be a reliable evaluation method.…”
