The aim of this study is to determine strength of adhesive single-lap joints of
Aluminum alloys which are widely used in geometric applications. It was investigated to
define the influence of overlap length and surface roughness value on shear stre
ngth of
achieved adhesive joints. It was used Epoxy and Acrylic adhesives to prepare adhesive
joints and all the specimens were subjected to axial tensile tests and the results are
presented as a comparison.
Results of those tests showed that shear strength increased with increasing each of
overlap length and surface roughness of adherends and Acrelicadhesiveproduced4better
results according to failure mode of tested samples.
