1. Spot welded ENF-Specimen
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskapAbstract : The behaviour of spot welded joints is to be studied in shear mode by using the end notched flexure (ENF) specimen. The specimen counts on several spot welds spaced with the same gap along the entire length except for the notch. READ MORE

2. Stability of End Notched Flexure Specimen
University essay from Institutionen för teknik och samhälleAbstract : This paper deals with two-dimensional Finite Element Analysis of the End Notched Flexure (ENF) specimen. The specimen is known to be unstable if the crack length is shorter than some critical crack length acr. READ MORE

3. System for measurement of cohesive laws
University essay from Institutionen för teknik och samhälleAbstract : In this thesis an experimental method to calculate cohesive characteristics for an adhesive layer in a End Notched Flexure (ENF) specimen is presented and evaluated. The method is based on the path independent J-integral where the energy release rate (ERR) for the adhesive is derived as a function of the applied forces and the rotational displacements at the loading point and at the supports of the specimen.

4. Evaluation of an Interphase Element using Explicit Finite Element Analysis
University essay from Institutionen för teknik och samhälleAbstract : A research group at University of Skövde has developed an interphase element for implementation in the commercial FE-software Abaqus. The element is using the Tvergaard & Hutchinson cohesive law and is implemented in Abaqus Explicit version 6.7 using the VUEL subroutine. READ MORE
