Strength And Stiffness

Strength tests on single lap joints with one adhesive (AV138/HV998) and one adhesive layer thickness (0.5 mm), three peel stoppers (brass bolt, nylon bolt and steel pin), and four lap lengths (12.5 mm, 25 mm, 40 mm and 100 mm) were conducted to investigate the effects of varying the lap length and stiffness of the peel-stop fasteners. Joint failure stress decreased, but failure force increased with lap length. Furthermore, joint failure stress was higher with the peel stopper. The effect of the brass-bolt peel stoppers was significant, whereas the effects of the nylon bolts and steel pins were smaller than that of the brass bolts. This indicates that the axial clamp strength and stiffness of the peel stopper are important factors in the shear strength of the lap. In addition, the effect of the stopper was negligible for the 12.5 mm lap. The reason is that the shear strength in the case of the 12.5 mm lap was large and thus the effect of the peel stopper was comparatively small. Moreover, the strength of the 100 mm lap reached the adherent material’s strength.

Adhesive Layers

One of the most relevant geometrical factors defining an adhesive joint is the thickness of the adhesive layer. The influence of the adhesive layer thickness on the joint strength has not been precisely understood so far. This article presents simplified analytical formulas for adhesive joint strength and adhesive joint coefficient for different joint loading, assuming, inter alia: linear-elastic strain of adhesive layer, elastic strain of adherends and only one kind of stress in adhesive. On the basis of the presented adhesive joint coefficient, the butt joint was selected for the tests of the influence of adhesive thickness on the adhesive failure stress. The tests showed clearly that with an increase in the thickness of the tested adhesive layers (up to about 0.17 mm), the value of their failure stress decreased quasi linearly. Furthermore, some adhesive joints (inter alia subjected to shearing) may display the optimum value of the thickness of the adhesive layer in terms of the strength of the joint. Thus, the aim of this work was to explain the phenomenon of optimal adhesive layer thickness in some types of adhesive joints. The verifying test was conducted with use of single simple lap joints. Finally, with the use of the FE method, the authors were able to obtain stresses in the adhesive layers of lap joints for loads that destroyed that joints in the experiment, and the FEM-calculated failure stresses for lap joints were compared with the adhesive failure stresses determined experimentally using the butt specimens. Numerical calculations were conducted with the use of the continuum mechanics approach (stress-based), and the non-linear behavior of the adhesive and plastic strain of the adherends was taken into account.

Dynamic response of single lap joints, subjected to a harmonic peeling load is studied theoretically and experimentally. In the theoretical part, dynamic response of a single lap joint clamped at one end and subjected to a harmonic peeling load at the other end is investigated. Adherents are modeled as Euler-Bernouli beams joined in the lap area by a viscoelastic adhesive layer. Both axial and transverse deformations of adherents are considered in deriving the equations of motion. The effects of adhesive layer thickness, mechanical properties and its loss factor on the dynamic response of the joint are investigated. Furthermore, effects of defects such as a void in the lap area on the dynamic response of the joints are studied. The results showed that frequencies where peak amplitudes occurred were little dependent on the adhesive loss factor. However, peak amplitudes reduced for joints with a higher adhesive loss factor. Furthermore, the results indicated that for the joint geometries and properties investigated the system resonant frequencies were not affected by the presence of a central void covering up to 80% of the overlap length. In the experimental part, single lap joints were fabricated using 6061-T6 Aluminum. Adherents were joined together using Hysol EA 9689 adhesive film. Joints with various central voids were manufactured by removing adhesive film from the desired area of lap joints prior to bonding adherents. Dynamic responses of the joints were investigated using the hammer test technique. The system response was measured using both an accelerometer and a noncontact laser vibrometer. The natural frequencies of the joints obtained by using the laser vibrometer were very close to those obtained theoretically. However, natural frequencies obtained by using an accelerometer depended on the accelerometer location in the system, which was attributed to its mass contribution to the over- all system mass. A central void covering less than 80% of the overlap length had little effect on the system resonance frequencies. This was in agreement with the theoretical results. In contrast total system-damping ratios were a function of the void size. Joints without a void exhibited higher damping.

Acoustic emission (AE) was used to monitor the tensile test of composites with adhesive specimens. The mechanical response behavior, damage and failure characteristics, and the corresponding AE characteristics of the composites have been investigated. The results show that the load of the join with defect in the adhesive layer is lower than the join with no defect. The higher AE relative energy and the AE amplitude were obtained in the adhesive specimen with defect in the adhesive layer whereas the variation of the AE relative energy is different from the adhesive specimen with on defect. The characteristics such as AE amplitude distribution, relative energy and cumulative hits are connected with the tensile damage and failure of the adhesively bonded single-lap joints of composite laminate. In the actual AE monitoring, these feature parameters should be considered entirely assess the damage and failure of the composites structures.
