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 Queirós Barbosa, Lucas Filipe Martins da Silva, Majid Reza Ayatollahi

“…Acting as a crack stopper and consequently stabilizing the crack propagation, prevents developing large and unstable cracks which is another source of energy consumption. However, the micro analysis showed that higher contents of cork lead to agglomeration of the particles which acts as a source of stress concentration, with a higher possibility of delamination between the matrix and the micro corks. …”
