From page 35...
... However, there exist many disciplines within the mechanics area that must work hand-in-hand to make effective progress. Nondestructive testing, stress analysis, finite element analysis, material modeling, experimental testing, and structural design are a few of these specialized disciplines.

From page 36...
... It is important for experimentalists and stress analysts to work together to design new test methods and specimens and to reevaluate current testing procedures. New test methods and specimens are needed to measure specific basic material properties.

From page 37...
... The FEA must be able to model realistic material behavior. FAILURE MECHANISMS To design an efficient, durable adhesively bonded structure, maximum design stresses must be established.

From page 38...
... Fracture mechanics has been demonstrated to be a viable tool for characterizing and predicting static strength and cyclic debonding of adhesive joints containing initial debonding. Several viable nonlinear viscoelastic models exist for the prediction of long-term creep rupture.
