- The increasing use of very flexible low modulus adhesives in the automotive sector poses an extremely challenging problem model. This paper uses data from an extensive mode I and II experimental testing programme (doi.org/10.1016/j.ijadhadh.2015.09.003) to calibrate a FE failure model. This is then validated by applying the model to further representative tests with excellent correlation. The novel technique used in this work is to include the adhesive ductility using standard continuum elements and the failure using thin cohesive elements. An extensive review (10.1016/j.ijadhadh.2016.10.010, §4.2.1) shows that this work is unique in addressing thick and ductile adhesive layers.
