Book Description
A fracture mechanics based approach using wedge and double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens is being used to evaluate the durability of a titanium/adhesive system. The adhesive used was a polyimide, developed by NASA Langley Research Center, modified and supplied by Cytec Engineered Materials, Inc., and designated as FM5. Prior to bonding, the adherend surfaces were pretreated by one of two surface pretreatments: phenylethynyl trimethyl silane or chromic acid anodization.
