Abstract
The fracture behaviour of a rubber-modified epoxy adhesive under impact fatigue has been investigated. An instrumented-impact test has been employed to apply multiple, “repeated-blow,” impacts to pre-cracked three-point-bend specimens at sub-critical energy levels. A fracture mechanics approach has been adopted to assess the effects of the impact-fatigue damage on the epoxy material.Keywords
