Micro failure analysis of adhesively bonded joints enhanced with natural cork particles: Impact of overlap length and particles volume fraction by Alireza Akhavan-Safar, Ana Queirs Barbosa, Lucas Filipe Martins da Silva, Majid Reza Ayatollahi

“…To investigate the toughening mechanisms, the fracture surfaces of the specimens were analyzed using SEM and a magnifying glass. It was shown that the deviation of the crack path and formation of micro-cracks generate multi fracture surfaces which is one of the main sources of energy absorption and resulted in higher fracture energy of the enhanced adhesives. …”

Crack suppression by natural fiber integration for improved interlaminar fracture toughness in fiber hybrid composites� by Anant Joshi, P S Shivakumar Gouda, I. Sridhar, Umarfarooq M A, Vinayak Uppin, Jyoti Vastrad, Nabaneeta Gogoi, Abhilash Edacherian

“…XRD analysis was done for the chosen natural fibers to know the crystallinity index and then compared with Carbon and Glass fibers. The fracture test experimental results, revealed that the effect of Jute fiber integration in UD Carbon epoxy composite was found significant in getting relatively good Mode I and II fracture toughness at the crack initiation without losing its stiffness. …”
