Adhesively Bonded Joint

Due to the significant effect on vehicle lightweight, adhesively bonded joint in structural components is widely adopted in automobile industry in recent years, which leads to the benefits in fuel economy, reduced emissions and driving safety. In this paper, the performances of adhesively bonded joints with three different adhesive types after different temperature treatments are investigated through joint shear strength test. Visual inspection is performed on fracture surfaces after joint failure. Results showed that both low and high temperatures have impact on joint strength and lead to different fracture modes. Stiff and flexible adhesives also result in different fracture surfaces in the overlap zone as the temperature varies.

Adhesively Bonded Joint

This study investigates the potentiality of using atmospheric-pressure Direct Current (DC) plasma arc discharge as a surface treatment method of aluminum alloys in adhesively bonded joints in order to enhance adhesion. The surface morphology exposed to the arc for the current of 40 A (low intensity) and the plasma torch scanning speeds between 20 and 120 mm/s, exhibits a micro-scale surface roughness appropriate for adhesive bonding. The arc textured surfaces are characterized by using an optical profilometer. Additionally, the effect of modified surface on the stress distribution throughout the single-lap adhesively bonded joint in tension is explored by 2D FEM. The geometrical model for FE analysis of adhesively bonded structure is generated by including the surface texture coordinates obtained from the optical profilometer.

Abstract The performance of electric sensors is continuously improving due to the demands of modern vehicles and electronic devices. Magnetic sensors are used in a wide field of applications. However, handling and mounting the typical high-performance rare earth permanent magnets are challenging due to their brittleness. A constant magnetic flux is a key property of the magnetic setup in many devices. State-of-the-art adhesive bonding of magnets in devices can cause problems due to the low durability and viscous behaviour of adhesive polymers, as the magnet may change its position and hence, the magnetic flux distribution in the magnetic setup changes.Ultrasonic welding is a powerful technique to join hybrid material systems quickly and reliably, providing high joint strength, even for brittle materials such as glasses, ceramics and rare earth permanent magnets. The latter is being investigated in this work for the first time. The ultrasonic welding process was adapted to join 316L stainless steel, representing potential components of magnetic devices, to Ni/Cu/Ni-coated Nd2Fe14B. In addition to directly joined steel/magnet-hybrids, ductile aluminium and nickel interlayers were used in order to enhance the joint strength. Process parameters were developed and evaluated considering the resulting shear strength of the joints. The highest shear strength of 35 MPa was achieved for 316L/Nd2Fe14B and 316L/Al/Nd2Fe14B, which is more than twice the shear strength of adhesively bonded joints of up to 20 MPa, according to the literature. The functional performance of the hybrid material systems, evaluated by the magnetic flux density of the hybrid material systems was the highest for directly bonded joints, and those with a nickel interlayer, which did not show any losses in comparison to the single magnet in its initial state. Joints with an aluminium interlayer showed losses of 3% and adhesively bonded joints showed losses of 7% of the magnetic flux density.In summary, the results of this work indicate that ultrasonic welding is a suitable technique to improve the production process and performance of magnetic devices.

Adhesively bonded joints are used extensively in various industries. Some imperfections like holes, thermal residual stresses occurring in the bolted, welded, riveted, and soldered joints don't take place in adhesively bonded joints. Hence, the main advantages of bonded joint are lightness, sealing, corrosion resistance, heat and sound isolation, damping, and quickly mounting facility which have been highly proved. This paper introduces an attempt to study the dynamic analysis of adhesively bonded joint for composite structures to investigate mainly the influences of lamina code number, bonded adhesive line configuration and boundary condition on the dynamic behavior of the test specimens containing composite assembly. The numerical based on the use of finite element model (FEM) modified by introducing unified mechanical properties are represented and applied to compute efficiently the Eigen-nature for composite bonded structures. The experimental tests are conducted to investigate such adhesive bonded joints using two different techniques. The first technique includes an ultrasonic technique in which the magnetostractive pulse echo delay-line for material characterization of composite material is used. The second technique is bassed on the use of the frequency response function method (FRF) applying the hammering method. The comparison between the numerical and experimental results proves that the suggested finite element models of the composite structural beams with bonded joints provide an efficient by accurate tool for the dynamic analysis of adhesive bonded joints. The damping capacity is inversely proportional to the stiffness of the bonded joint specimens. The type of the proportionality depends mainly on the bond line configuration type, lamina orientation, and boundary conditions. This in turn enables an accurate evaluation for selecting the proper characteristics of the specimens for controlling the present damping capacity and the proper resistance against deformation during the operating process. The present study provides an efficient non-destructive technique for the prediction of dynamic properties for an adhesive bonded joint for the studied composite structure systems. The coordination of the experimental and numerical techniques makes it possible to find an efficient tool for studying the dynamic performance of adhesively bonded joint for composite structures.

The purpose of this paper is to study some of the factors that affect the shear strength of Single Lap Joints (SLJ). Based in work conditions for different applications, tests were made in order to define the influence of geometry and temperature on the strength of SLJ under shear load. The adhesive used to make the joints was the epoxy adhesive ARC858 and it was tested under temperatures ranging between 21°C and 70°C and overlap length of 12.5mm and 18.75mm. Results of those tests showed that shear strength increased due to geometry with an overlap of 18.75mm and a great shear strength loss ranging from 30°C to 50°C. The failure mechanism was adhesive failure.

D.C. electric potential technique has been used to monitor crack growth in conductive materials. A constant DC current is ppased through thesse materials and the crack length is measured through the changes in the electrical voltage at the crack mouth. However, this method is not applicable in crack growth measurement in nonconductive materials or adhesively bonded joints. For these materials, a new method is developed and is shown to provide a very accurate method for measuring the crack length. The surface of these materials is coated with a thin layer of carbon paint and the crack lenght is measured through the changes in the electrical resistance of the carbon paint, as the crack grows both in the base material and the thin layer carbon paint. In contrast to the D.C. electric potential technique where the position of the probes for measuring the crack length is very important for an accurate measurement of the crack length, the new technique is little sensitive to the probe location. Crack growth is measured in adhesively bonded joints subjected to creep loadings. A modified Compact tension specimen is cut in two pieces across its notch area. The pieces are then glued jusing an adhensive. The surface of the specimen is painted with a thin layer of carbon paint and the changes in its electrical resistance are monitored. It is shown that the carbon paint method provides a quiet sensitive method for monitoring the crack growth. The creep crack growth rate in the adhesively bonded joint is related to Mode I energy release rate, G1. It is shown that the crack grows in the middle of the adhesive layer rather than at the interface of the joint. Micromechanisms of the crack growth are studied using a scanning electron microscope. The damage consists of numerous crazed regions at the crack tip. Crack grows by the linkage of the crazed region.
