3. Lifetime engineering of structural bonded joints
Based on the experimental approach to ageing structural bonded joints, several predictive models have been developed to establish an operational lifetime.
J. Cognard
[165]
, using the cleavage test, interprets the decrease in fracture energy of bonded joints, with stainless steel substrates, cleaved during the test as a decrease in the mechanical strength of the bonded joints during residence time in an aggressive atmosphere. Considering that the tensile strength σ of the joint is proportional to the square root of the fracture energy W
