Studying and Improvement of Strength in Adhesive Joints


Abstract in English

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 strength 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.
