Creep effect fatigue analysis

This chapter will discuss the testing, analysis, and design of structural adhesive joints. Adhesive bond test techniques to be considered include tensile, shear, peel, impact, creep, and fatigue. Some considerations will also be given to the effect of environment and test rate. A continuum approach to the analysis of adhesive joints will discuss tensile, shear, and peel stresses which arise in various joint geometries. Classical theories by Volkersen, Goland and Reissner, and others will be included. References to finite element analysis will be made where appropriate throughout the chapter. 

Consider a more accurate stress analysis including the bending stress from F rather than only the average stress o. What about the effect of a stress concentration at the comer Should bending creep data be used rather than tensile creep data If the latch were subject to repeated openings over short times—what about a fatigue analysis ...
