Abstract

Fatigue (slow) crack growth in silane bonded epoxy/glass interfaces was studied under static and cyclic loading at 23°C, 95% RH using the double cleavage drilled compression test. Crack growth rates under cyclic loading were significantly greater than under static loading, in contrast to crack growth results in monolithic glass. In addition, cyclic crack growth rate data after aging up to 94°C in distilled water were not significantly different from unaged samples; however, after aging at 98°C in distilled water and 70°C in a KOH aqueous solution of pH 10, crack growth became cohesive and fractal in nature. These results are discussed in terms of possible mechanisms for fatigue crack growth at silane bonded epoxy/glass interfaces.
