The adhesive technique is observing a considerable increase in applications in various fields. Unlike traditional joining methods, this technology allows the stress peaks and the weight of the resulting structure to be reduced. Adhesive joints during their service life not only undergo mechanical but also thermal stresses. The thermal compatibility between the adhesive and the adherents used is a fundamental aspect to consider in the design phase. This paper reports on and analyses the results obtained from a linear Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation for a hybrid adhesive joint, as the thickness and characteristics of the adhesive layer vary. An analytical solution for adhesive free joints is presented according to both beam and plate theories. The analytical and numerical results, in case of no adhesive, are in good agreement with good approximation. The introduction of the adhesive layer allows to obtain higher displacement values than in the adhesive-free configuration. The increase in displacement and therefore in ductility confirms the effectiveness of the adhesive joint for real applications.

Abstract A solution to prevent liner wrinkling in Mechanically Lined Pipes (MLP) with a standard 3.0mm thick liner during reeling, without the use of pressurisation, has been developed in the form of the GluBi® lined pipe. The liner being adhesively bonded to the outer pipe, its integrity is maintained despite the global plastic strain applied by the installation method. This new linepipe product has been qualified for offshore use through testing accompanied by a detailed Finite Element Analysis programme to fully capture the pipe and adhesive behaviours under and range of temperatures and loading conditions. The objective of this analysis program was to investigate the reelability of the GluBi® pipe. The instalability was defined as the capability of the pipe to tolerate cyclic plastic deformation representative of a typical pipeline installation by reeling without the formation of wrinkling of the CRA liner, and to maintain the integrity of the adhesive layer, particularly near the weld overlay at the pipe ends. Important areas of the GluBi® pipe design are the pipe extremities, particularly the transition between the liner and the weld overlay length. A detailed Finite Element model of the pipe was created. It captured all stages of the pipe manufacturing: pipe lining, hydrostatic expansion, adhesive curing, overlay weld deposition and reeling simulation. The pipe modelled was 312.1mm OD × 19.7mm WT SMLS 450 with a nominal 3.0mm thick Alloy 625 liner. An important validation work was performed to obtain a precise material response of the adhesive layer between liner and outer pipe. The adhesive mechanical properties were thus assessed in shearing and peeling over a range of temperatures covering all possible manufacturing and installation conditions. The model's elements and adhesive property modelling were validated against physical test results. Sensitivity analyses were done on the adhesive curing temperature, the geometry of the adhesive transition between the liner and the overlay weld at the pipe ends and on the liner thickness. The model was subjected to reeling simulation corresponding to Subsea 7's reel-lay vessels. The liner's integrity post reeling was assessed according to a range of acceptance criteria. These studies made it possible to establish parameter ranges for the safe installation of the linepipe.

The effect of the adhesive thickness on the impact toughness of the adhesively bonded steel joint under impact loading is studied using the experimental method. The results obtained show that the impact toughness increases when the adhesive thickness increased then it decrease as the adhesive thickness increase. When the curing time is set as a constant, the higher the curing temperature is, the lower the impact toughness of the joint. The optimum thickness of the adhesive layer for the specimen of impact toughness test cured at 60 C for 1 h is 0.6 mm and it is 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm for the specimen cured 1 h at temperature of 90 C or higher than it. It is recommended using the notched specimen to decrease the testing deviation.

The performance of joint structure is an important aspect of composite material design. In this study, we examined the compression shear bearing capacity of the adhesively bonded single-lap joint structure of high-temperature-resistant composite materials (C/C composite materials). The test pieces were produced in accordance with the appropriate ASTM C1292 standard, which were used for the compression shear test. The failure morphology of the layer was observed by a digital microscopic system and scanning electron microscope. The experimental result shows that the load on the test piece increased nonlinearly until the failure occurred, and most of the adhesive layer exhibited cohesive failures at three temperature points (400, 600, and 800 °C), while the interface failures occurred in a small part of the adhesive layer. A numerical analysis model was established using ABAQUS finite element software. The simulation results were compared with the test results to verify the correctness of the model. On the basis of correctness of the model verified by comparing the simulation results and the test results, the influences of temperature and overlapped length on the joint compression shear performance were studied through the validated simulation method. Numerical results showed that the ultimate load of the joint decreased with increases in temperature and that the distribution trends of the shear stresses in the overlapped length direction were substantially the same for joints of different overlapped lengths.

The paper presents the static strength of adhesively bonded steel joints aged in deionized water at a temperature of 60°C for 15 days at various adhesive thicknesses from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm. Water uptake and the bulk adhesive tensile properties after aged in the same environment as the joints were also presented. It has been shown that water diffusion into the adhesive is non Fickian. The absorbed water in the adhesive significantly decreases the mechanical properties and it affects the static strength of the bonded steel joints. The effect of water is shown to be significant when the adhesive thickness is thicker than 0.2 mm as the static strength decreases sharply. This information is useful when designing the adhesive joints using thick adhesive layer exposed in moist environment.
