Interest in adhesive bonding has significantly increased in the industrial field, and its application is expanding in industries such as rail, automotive and aerospace. In particular, the use of flexible adhesives has become a trend in the industry due to the advantages they offer, despite being less studied than rigid adhesives. However, the design of these adhesive bonds remains a challenge for engineers because flexible adhesives are less well studied, and in many cases, there is insufficient data to predict their behavior. Existing models developed for rigid adhesives cannot accurately predict the behavior of flexible adhesive bonds, which exhibit low modulus of elasticity, incompressibility and large strains to failure. As numerical simulations are becoming an integral part of component design, engineers are constantly faced with the challenge of choosing the most appropriate model, as this is a prerequisite for accurate numerical predictions. In light of this situation, this doctoral thesis focuses on the mechanical characterisation of adhesives with hyperelastic behaviour and aims to determine the most suitable behavioral laws for their inclusion in simulation models. Initially, a test plan is implemented using simple specimens with uniaxial and planar configurations, designed to measure the non-linear behaviour of the adhesives in both tensile and pure shear respectively. In contrast to the uniaxial specimen, which is regulated by the test standard (ISO-37), there is no specific standard for the planar specimen. Consequently, in the initial phase of this research, it is proposed that tests be conducted with specimens of varying dimensions (width-length) to ascertain the influence of these dimensions on the results. Finite element models are subsequently utilized to fit the hyperelastic material behaviour laws. Models of the dumbbell and planar specimens are made using different hyperelastic behaviour laws. A fitting procedure is adhered to, and it is determined which model most accurately approximates the experimental data. Once the hyperelastic model has been adjusted, it can be used to simulate the behaviour of different joint configurations. To validate the chosen material model, single lap (SLJ) and peel (DCB) joints with different adhesive thicknesses are modeled. The results are then compared with those obtained experimentally by testing specimens with the same configurations. Once the model has been verified to be functioning correctly, the simulation is initiated and the joints subjected to different stresses are analysed. Moreover, the developed methodology has been tested by applying it to characterise other types of hyperelastic adhesives, and to assess the influence of different environmental conditions. Finally, to assess the applicability of the findings presented in this thesis, studies were conducted on joints used in industrial vehicle bodies, yielding encouraging results.
