grantor: University of TorontoTo assess the durability of adhesive joints, blistering as a form of degradation and water diffusion in adhesive joints were investigated. In addition, secondary bond effects on the measurement of critical strain energy release rate were examined to validate the open-faced specimen technique, and the degradation parameter was studied in greater detail. It was found that open-faced specimens can be used to test the fracture strength of the primary-bond with the secondary bonds having an insignificant effect. The degradation parameter concept requires further evaluation with other adhesives over longer exposure periods. It was also concluded that adhesive layers in closed joints cured at elevated temper...
