Therefore, this work aims to investigate, through a literature review, the existing gaps related to the adhesion ability of adhesive mortars, identifying new research needs that can better explain the behavior of the material. In addition, an experimental procedure was developed to evaluate the mechanical capacity of adhesive mortars when subjected to cyclic stresses. Dynamic stress measurements are presented for several blocks of mortar and on similar blocks but with a slot drilled prior to measurements (intended to represent failure). From these data we calculated values of stress energy, elastic energy, and dissipated energy. The experimental results showed that the energy involved in the test process accompanied the load values and current stress values. The mortar samples with the previous failure absorbed and dissipated less energy than mortars without failure, showing that materials that have less energy to dissipate, are materials that have developed less capacity to adhere, that is, to keep their parts together.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15062332","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,21]],"date-time":"2022-03-21T21:48:42Z","timestamp":1647899322000},"page":"2332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Mortar Bond Strength: A Brief Literature Review, Tests for Analysis, New Research Needs and Initial Experiments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3296-4042","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Janaina","family":"Salustio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Department, Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid (UFERSA), Angicos 59515-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Technology Center, Postgraduate Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Federal University of Para\u00edba (UFPB), Jo\u00e3o Pessoa 58051-900, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3738-0935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandro M.","family":"Torres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament of Mechanical Engineering, Federal University of Para\u00edba (UFPB), Jo\u00e3o Pessoa 58051-900, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Anne C.","family":"Melo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Material Science and Engineering, Federal University of Para\u00edba (UFPB), Jo\u00e3o Pessoa 58051-900, Brazil"}]},{"given":"\u00c2ngelo J.
