Implementation of the Coupled Criterion (CC) in its asymptotic form (i.e., based on Williams’ type series expansion) to predict the growth of the crack along the adhesive bonded interface

Bonded structures deal with very distinct fields, such as materials science, surface science, physics and structural mechanics. Nevertheless, in order to achieve industrial progress, an interdisciplinary approach has to be adopted in order to address the challenges of this topic. CertBond Cost action brings together experts in those different fields aiming to enable the implementation of composite bonded joints in primary structures.
