The Effect of Interface Geometry on the Mechanical Behavior of Adhesive Joints

Article Preview

Abstract:

The role of sinusoid interface shape on the load bearing capacity of the adhesively bonded single lap joints has been investigated experimentally. The experimental results showed that the interface non-flatness can considerably influence the adhesive joint strength. The main parameters that can affect the load bearing of the non-flat joints are wave heights, wave lengths and also mechanical properties of adhesives and adherends. In this paper, the effect of wave length was evaluated as the key variable parameter. According to the experimental results for the best studied case, non-flat sinusoid single lap joints had about 51% higher load bearing compared to the conventional flat single lap joints.
