Monitoring Moisture Uptake in Adhesives

Low-frequency impedance as a function of crack length for PAA and sandblasted wedge test FM-73 specimens.

Low-frequency impedance as a function of crack length for PAA and sandblasted wedge test FM-300 specimens.

Note the different impedance and crack length scales.
