dc.description.abstract | Wavy or undulatory debonding is often observed when a confined/sandwiched elastomeric layer is pulled off from a stiff adherend. Here we analyze this debonding phenomenon using a cohesive zone model (CZM). Using stability analysis of linear equations governing plane strain quasi-static deformations of an elastomer, we find (i) a non-dimensional number relating the elastomer layer thickness, h, the long term Young's modulus, <i>E<sub>∞</sub></i>, of the interlayer material, the peak traction, <i>T<sub>c</sub></i>, in the CZM bilinear tractionseparation (TS) relation, and the fracture energy, <i>G<sub>c</sub></i>, of the interface between the adherend and the elastomer layer, and (ii) the critical value of this number that provides a necessary condition for undulations to occur during debonding. For the elastomer modeled as a linear viscoelastic material with the shear modulus given by a Prony series and a rate-independent bilinear TS relation in the CZM, the stability analysis predicts that a necessary condition for a wavy solution is that <i>T<sub>c</sub><sup>2</sup>h=G<sub>c</sub>E<sub>∞</sub></i> exceed 4:15. This is supported by numerically solving governing equations by the finite element method (FEM). Lastly, we use the FEM to study three-dimensional deformations of the peeling (induced by an edge displacement) of a flexible plate from a thin elastomeric layer perfectly bonded to a rigid substrate. These simulations predict progressive debonding with a fingerlike front for sufficiently confined interlayers when the TS parameters satisfy a constraint similar to that found from the stability analysis of the plane strain problem. | en |
