Damage curve for FM 73 polymer adhesive

[polydamage]

Just wondering if anybody is having a damage curve for the polymer mentioned in the subject. I would be greatly obliged

Cheers

I am assuming that you are referring to the epoxy adhesive that CYTEC explains as follows:

FM® 73 film adhesive is a toughened, general purpose aerospace epoxy designed to provide excellent structural performance from -67°F to 180°F (-55°C to 82°C).

There are different types of damage mechanisms that can be active for epoxy adhesives. What type of failure mode are you focusing on? Adhesive or Cohesive failure? What loading conditions and environment? Monotonic vs. cyclic loading?

Hello Jorgen

Mode- Mode I

Unfortunately, I don't have the data that you are looking for.

If the manufacturer does not have the data, then you will likely have to generate it yourself.
