METHOD FOR TESTING THE FRACTURE TOUGHNESS OF AN ADHESIVE JOINT TO BE FORMED

摘要

A method for testing the fracture toughness of an adhesive joint to be formed between two components made of fiber-reinforced plastic, by forming a test joint between two sample elements and applying a tensile load onto this test joint until a pre-defined value is reached, is depicted and described. One of these sample elements is formed by one of the components of the joint to be formed, and the tensile load acts on the other sample element.
