Abstract
In this work, fracture mechanics methodology is used to predict crack propagation in the
adhesive joining of aluminum and composite plates. Three types of loadings and two types
of glass-epoxy composite sequences: [0/90]2s and [0/45/-45/90]s are considered for the composite plate. Therefore 2 × 3 = 6 cases are considered and their results are compared. The
debonding initiation load, complete debonding load, crack face profile and load-displacement
diagram have been compared for the six cases
