Yield strength and stress relaxation data for an adhesive used in butt joint tests

摘要

Mechanical property data are reported for Epon 828/T403, an amine-cured epoxy adhesive. Data include compression modulus, compression yield strength and compression stress relaxation as a function of stress level, strain rate, and temperature and Mode I fracture toughness as a function of temperature. This data was generated to support a study investigating how temperature effects joint strength and the corresponding interface comer fracture toughness for adhesively bonded butt joints.
