Analysis of Bimetallic Adhesion and Interfacial Toughness of Kinetic Metallization Coatings
… this study is to develop a model to predict the interfacial quality of KM coatings using known coating and substrate properties. Of the various contributions to adhesion of KM coatings, research suggests that the thermodynamic Work of Adhesion (W<sub>AD</sub>) is the most fundamental. It is …

Phase field modeling of the defect evolution and failure
… effect of two damage parameters, the fracture toughness <em>Gc</em> and crack length scale parameter <em>l0, </em>are first investigated. The former is shown to determine the energy needed during crack propagation and the latter is observed to control the crack nucleation process. Moreover, two …

Bonding properties of innovative CAD-CAM composite biomaterials for dental prostheses
… The objectives of this study are to evaluate interfacial toughness of the different classes of CAD-CAM composites (Dispersed filler and PICNs) with resin cement after different surface pretreatments and aging, and to correlate the results with material surface parameters, particularly micro- …

Measurement of Interfacial Adhesion in Glass-Epoxy Systems Using the Indentation Method
… Experimental observations and measurements of interfacial adhesion in glass-epoxy systems are described in this thesis. A comparison study of how different glass treatments affect adhesion was also conducted: smooth versus rough, clean versus unclean, stressed versus non-stressed. The Oliver …

Tough wet adhesion of hydrogel on various materials : mechanism and application
In nature, robust interfacial adhesion plays crucial roles in maintaining integration and functionality of various physiological structures including tendon and cartilage to bones and epidermis to dermis in mammalian skins. For instance, the bonding of tendon and cartilage to bone is extremely …

A Hydrogel Adhesive Marine Sensing System: Design, Mechanism, and Applications
… offers rapid (less than 20 seconds), robust (interfacial toughness > 160 J m−2 ), conformable, and non-invasive sensor integration on a variety of marine tissues, particularly soft and flexible ones. This system was tested on live marine animals with varying topological features, from soft …

Structural and residual strength analysis of metal-to-metal adhesively bonded joints.
… of adhesive layer thickness, adhesive modulus, interfacial strength and toughness on the adhesive bond failure. Flexure, indentation and single lap joint tension experiments were carried out in selected specimens with AE monitoring to record crack propagation events. FEA of the 4-point flexure …
