Experimental investigation of Adhesive Strengths of Adhesively Bonded Joints

摘要

In this study, the joining strengths of adhesively bonded joints are experimentally investigated. A series of lap-shear tests are conducted using single lap type adhesive joints. In order to analyze the joint fabrication factors that affected the joining strength, a parametric test is conducted by varying the adhesive thickness, surface roughness and fillet of adhesive. The quantitative results of the strength analysis are summarized, and some proposals are made on setting up testing standards for adhesively bonded joints.
