Fundamentals of Adhesion (Peel) Testing
There is a reason people reach for Duct Tape as a fix for almost everything – Adhesion Strength. From busted pipes to ripped furniture, the preference for a solution that “does not easily peel off” is the guiding principle for manufactures.

Electrical assembly component strength
Customised engineering example
Due to the complex, asymmetric shapes of electrical assemblies, it can be difficult to grip the soldered, fused and welded parts in a way that mimic the forces applied when in use.
