In this work, fracture mechanics methodology is used to predict crack propagation in the adhesive joining of aluminum and composite plates. Three types of loadings and two types of glass-epoxy composite sequences: [0/90]2sand [0/45/-45/90]sare considered for the composite plate. Therefore 2 × 3 = 6 cases are considered and their results are compared. The debonding initiation load, complete debonding...
