Abstract
Abstract One of the main factors affecting the strength of bonded joints is the loading rate. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of loading rate on fracture toughness of bonded joints. Cleavage strength tests were carried out at seven different loading rates using an epoxy resin adhesive and two adherend materials, aluminium and brass. The results indicate that the strain rate has a significant effect on the fracture strength.
