Abstract
The desire to use adhesives and composites in structural applications has led to a need for a failure prediction capability for the polymers used in such systems. Unfortunately, this task is greatly complicated by the failure load being dependent not only upon the specimen geometry but also on the previous history of loading, temperature, environment, etc. For the tough, rubber-modified polymers that are of most interest for structural applications the effects of previous history can be dramatic. As a result, predictions based on measurements at a single set of conditions can lead to dangerous over or under estimates of the fracture behavior. In an effort to understand this problem the present work has studied the fracture behavior of various polymer formulations using bulk and adhesive joint specimens tested over a variety of different thermal and loading histories.
