Abstract

This report provides an overview of predictive models for determining deformation of toughened adhesives and thermoplastic materials under creep loading conditions. The report includes a new model developed at the National Physical Laboratory for characterising the non-linear creep behaviour of rubber-toughened adhesives. The model, which has been adopted for use with the finite element software package ABAQUS, has been used to predict extensions in both bulk adhesives and bonded joints. It is intended in future work to assess the applicability of the creep model for thermoplastic materials, such as polypropylene and polyethylene.
