Design and manufacturing optimization of epoxy-based adhesive specimens for multiaxial tests

Specimen design and manufacturing quality are decisive factors in the experimental determination of material properties, because they can only be reliably determined if all undesired influences have been minimized or are precisely known. The manufacture of specimens from highly viscous, two-componen...
