Abstract
This work presents a practical approach to estimate mode I fracture energy of structural adhesives at high strain rates from impact wedge peel (IWP) tests. For this purpose, an inverse estimation approach is used which requires relevant input quantities for the associated IWP simulations, e.g., primarily the dynamic friction coefficient between the wedge and the fractured adhesive and the adhesive strength. We describe two new impact-pendulum-based test devices to measure these unknown parameters. These parameters serve as input for the IWP simulation from which the remaining unknown fracture energy of the structural adhesive is estimated by an efficient regression scheme. An uncertainty quantification approach is used to approximate the statistical deviation of the generated material parameters based on the deviation of the measured input parameters. Experimental IWP test results are matched to IWP simulation results for three different substrates. The entire workflow is tested and validated for two different structural adhesives.
