A high Jw/Js of about 20 l/g (or a low Js/Jw of about 0.05 g/l) can be achieved by using a 2 M NaCl as the draw solution and deionized water as the feed solution in a testing configuration where the active layer facing the draw solution at 23 °C.
A testing configuration on the basis of a 97 mm diameter and 8 m long Nylon Hopkinson pressure bar is proposed to host this large sandwich sample and to impose a nominal strain of 70% to multilayer sandwich samples of 45.5 mm long.
The nondimensional adhesion model is able to predict the adhesion curve response of any test configuration with a mean R2 value of 0.995.
The joint type studied was single-bolt, single-lap, which is a standard test configuration in both a civilian and a military standard for composite joints.
In order to reduce the displacement corresponding to a given stress, a novel test configuration, designated as five-point bending, is modelled analytically.
We validate the model against experimental data for a simple test configuration consisting of an infinite slab acted upon by an oscillatory voltage differential across the slab and otherwise stress free.
An experimental investigation of the rupture mechanisms in a mid-strength and a high-strength steel were conducted employing a novel test configuration.
