Quantitative data requirements for stuctural analysis depend on the design approach and, therefore, the type of analysis to be performed. However, all the theoretical methods for predicting joint strength require:
(1) adherend tensile modulus (E) and Poisson’s ratio (v)
(2) adhesive shear (Ga) and tensile (Ea) moduli, and Poisson’s ratio (va)
Additionally, analyses which allow for adhesive non-linear behaviour will need data on ductility, e. g.:
(3) yield stress (strain) and ultimate stress (strain), in shear or tension, or both
Some analyses require adhesive physical properties such as:
(4) coefficients of thermal and hygroscopic expansion.
A number of analysts (e. g. 5, 19) maintain that non-linear analysis is the key to being able to predict failure of bonded joints. It is also apparent that the strength of bonded joints, however loaded, is determined largely by the ultimate stress or the ultimate strain capability of the adhesive in tension.
