Review of Fracture in Adhesive Joints Considering Rocket Motor Application

Abstract

The paper presents a review of existing research on fracture problems in adhesively bonded joints. Both the theoretical background and studies dealing with specific design problems are discussed. Investigations that employed experimental techniques to detect fracture are also included. The work that addresses effects of such important phenomena as residual thermal stresses and viscoelasticity is analyzed. Bond fracture in solid rocket motors is discussed to illustrate an array of problems facing a designer of adhesive joints. Difficulties associated with the analysis of adhesive joints in solid rocket motors are discussed. © 1995 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All right reserved.
