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.

Experiments on single lap joints bonded with viscoelastic adhesives reveal that the effects of rate and time and inherent flaws are as critical in joint failure as are the environmental and stress concentration effects. Experimental data reveal that random inherent flaws and loading rate changes may result in as much as 40 percent reduction in joint strength. Furthermore when creep loading is used, the asymptotic creep stress, below which no delayed failure will occur, may have to be as much as 45 percent less than the adhesive maximum strength.

Single Lap Joints

The stress distribution of adhesively-bonded single lap joints under tensile shear loading is analyzed using 2-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element method (FEM). Special attentions have been put on the influence of void in adhesive on the stress distribution of adhesively-bonded joints. The results show that the stress concentration of the void is less than that of the end part of the joints when adhesive layer’s deformation was in the range of elastic. Moreover, the influence of the void on the stress distribution becomes less when the void moving from the end-part to the middle. The stress concentration becomes larger and the stress distribution of adhesive’s mid-thickness region becomes flatter when adhesive layer has biggish plastic deformation. Finite element results show an agreement with the theoretical results.

This work presents a comprehensive experimental study on the effect of surface roughness and adhesive curing temperature on adhesively bonded joints of AA6082. The modification of surface morphology has been assessed by roughness measurements (contact and non-contact profilometry). In addition, mechanical changes in the resin properties due to different curing time have been probed through a series of instrumented indentation tests. Thus, adhesive bonded single lap joints were fabricated and tested to assess the changes in shear strength at varying surface roughness and curing conditions. The obtained results indicate the ability of the roughened surface to improve the joint strength together with the adequate combination of curing temperature and time among those suggested by the manufacturer.

The Impact

In this paper, the effect of graphene nanoparticle additive on the strength of simple and hybrid (rivet-bonded) single-lap joints is studied using the experimental method. Two different types of graphene with different number of layer and thicknesses are used in adhesive-graphene nanoparticle composite construction. At first, tensile tests are done on bulk specimens of adhesive with different additives. It is found that adding 0.5 wt% of graphene to the neat adhesive leads to an increase in the ultimate tensile strength of bulk specimens almost 24% and 12% for two graphene types compared to the neat adhesive. Also, the shear strength of adhesive and hybrid lap joints incorporating two types of graphene nanoparticles (types I and II) is compared to that of adhesive and hybrid joints without graphene nanoparticles. SEM results of fracture surfaces show that the inclusion of graphene nanoparticle to the adhesive increases the roughness of surfaces. Experimental results reveal that graphene nanoparticle increases the strength of bonded and hybrid joints. It is observed that, graphene with a lower thickness and number of layers has a better influence on joint strength. In fact, graphene nanoparticle type II makes a homogeneous distribution in adhesive-graphene nanoparticle composite and causes a significant increase on joint strength.

For lightweight materials, e.g. aluminium, the definition of proper joining technology relies on material properties, as well as design and manufacturing aspects. Substrate thickness is especially relevant due to its impact on the weight of components. The present work compares the performance of adhesively bonded (AJ) to hybrid riveted-bonded joints (HJ) using aluminium substrates. To assess the lightweight potential of these joining methods, the effect of substrate thickness (2 and 3 mm) on the lap-shear strength (LSS) of single lap joints is investigated. An epoxy-based structural adhesive is employed for bonding, whilst HJs are produced by lockbolt rivet insertion into fully cured adhesive joints. The stiffness of joints increased with an increase of substrate thickness. HJs presented two-staged failure process with an increase in energy absorption and displacement at break. For HJs, the substrate thickness changed the failure mechanism of rivets: with thicker substrates failure occurred due to shear, whereas in thinner substrates due to rivet pulling-through. The LSS of 2 mm and 3 mm-thick AJs is similar. With 2 mm-thick substrates, the LSS of HJs was lower than AJs. In contrast, the highest LSS is obtained by the 3 mm-thick HJs. The highest lightweight potential, i.e. LSS divided by weight, is achieved by the 2 mm-thick AJs, followed by the 3 mm-thick HJs with a loss of ca. 10% of specific LSS.

The application of adhesively bonded joints in automotive industry has increased significantly in recent years mainly because of the potential for lighter weight vehicles, fuel savings and reduced emissions. The use of composites in making automotive body components to achieve a reduced vehicle mass has also continuously increased. Natural fibre composites have recently attracted a great deal of attention by the automotive industry due to their many attractive benefits (e.g. high strength-to-weight ratio, sustainable characteristics and low cost). However, the literature on natural fibre-reinforced polymer composite adhesive joints is scarce and needs further investigation. The main objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the mechanical performance of adhesively bonded joints made of synthetic- and natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites. Similar and dissimilar single lap joints bonded with a modern tough structural adhesive used in the automotive industry, as well as the epoxy resin AR260 (the same resin used in composite fabrication) were tested. It was found that the average failure loads varied significantly with adhesive material strength and adherend stiffness. Furthermore, it was also observed that failure mode has a significant effect in failure load. The jute-based natural fibre composites joints, both hybrid and purely natural, were superior in strength compared to the sisal-based natural composites joints.

Monitoring the bondline integrity of adhesively bonded joints is one of the most critical concerns in the design of aircraft structures to date. Due to the lack of confidence on the integrity of the bondline both during fabrication and service, the industry standards and regulations require assembling the primary airframe structure using the inefficient “black-aluminum” approach, that is, drill holes and use fasteners. Furthermore, state-of-the-art non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring approaches are not yet able to provide mature solutions on the issue of bondline integrity monitoring. Therefore, the objective of this work is the introduction and feasibility investigation of a novel bondline integrity monitoring method that is based on the use of piezoelectric sensors embedded inside adhesively bonded joints in order to provide an early detection of bondline degradation. The proposed approach incorporates (1) micro-sensors embedded inside the adhesive layer leaving a minimal footprint on the material, (2) numerical and analytical modeling of the electromechanical impedance of the adhesive bondline, and (3) electromechanical impedance–based diagnostic algorithms for monitoring and assessing the bondline integrity. The experimental validation and assessment of the proposed approach is achieved via the design and fabrication of prototype adhesively bonded lap joints with embedded piezoelectric sensors and a series of mechanical tests under various static and dynamic (fatigue) loading conditions. The obtained results demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach in providing increased confidence on the use of adhesively bonded joints for aerospace structures.

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.
