Ductile adhesively-bonded timber joints - Part 1: Experimental investigation

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Myrsini Angelidi

In the field of timber load-bearing structures, adhesive bonding is a promising joining technique that may increase the structural stiffness and capacity of timber joints and structures. The use of ductile adhesives may furthermore allow designing ductile ...

Displacement rate and structural effects on Poisson ratio of a ductile structural adhesive in tension and compression

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Myrsini Angelidi

The effects of the loading type, i.e. tension or compression, and displacement rate on the Poisson ratio of a non-linear viscoelastic ductile structural adhesive have been investigated using digital image correlation-based strain fields. The results showed ...

Ductility and strain rate-dependency of adhesively-bonded timber joints

Myrsini Angelidi

One of the most important characteristics of load-bearing structures is ductility, i.e. the ability of a material or a structure to sustain inelastic deformation prior to failure, without loss of resistance. The topic of this PhD Thesis was to develop duct ...

Ductility of adhesively bonded timber joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Myrsini Angelidi

In the field of timber engineering, adhesive bonding remains a promising, though poorly developed, joining technique that may increase the structural stiffness and capacity of timber joints and structures. Selecting ductile adhesives may further allow to c ...

Ductility, recovery and strain rate dependency of an acrylic structural adhesive

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Myrsini Angelidi

The ductility and time-dependent recovery of a ductile acrylic adhesive were investigated in this work. The quasi-static true tensile and compressive strain behaviors were examined at different strain rates, taking large deformations into account. Yield st ...
