Abstract
This paper presents a fracture-mechanics-based approach to the prediction of the failure of single-lap joints manufactured by resin-transfer moulding. Since single-lap joints can undergo large deformation, a higher-order large-deformation theory is used to analyse the joint. Mode I and mode II components of energy release rate are determined from the loads and moments in the adherend and the overlap region at the end of the overlap. A linear failure criterion is used to predict the failure load. Comparison with experimental failure load data showed excellent agreement with theoretical prediction.
