Development of an Arcan test for the fatigue charaterization of bonded assemblies of composite materials

The use of composite materials is booming in the field of transport, whether naval, aeronautical or automotive industries. In addition, the race to perserve energy pushes manufacturers to found ways to lighten their structure, including the modification of assembly methods. The new assembly generation propose bonding for assemblies. methods for dimensioning bonded assemblies under fatigue stress require experimental data that can be correlated to finite element simulation results.
