Simulation of Adhesive Joint Strength in Peel Test Conditions

Abstract

This article presents the results of experimental studies carried out to characterize the peel strength of adhesive bonds. The method of specimen making has been described and the test results of the materials used for preparing specimens for tests have been presented. In the program based on FEM, a solid model has been made, in which the contact layer is based on a CZM type material model. The results of experimental studies have been compared with the results of numerical simulation.
