Abstract
The article proposes a numerical method for modeling and calculating the kinetics of subcritical crack growth and creating kinetic G-V diagrams for structural adhesive joints under prolonged static loading. The load was set by the global subcritical crack opening according to mode I. Modeling and calculations were carried out using a cohesive zone model implanted into the finite element method in the ANSYS software package. The parameters of the cohesive zone law and the kinetics of subcritical crack growth were experimentally determined for samples in the form of a double cantilever beam made of aluminum alloy plates glued with industrial grade epoxy glue. Comparison of the calculated and experimental data showed a good correlation.
