Experimental Analysis of the Behavior of Multiple Adhesive on the Single Lap Joint Strength

Abstract:

The usage of adhesively bonded lap joints in industrial applications has been growing in recent years because of the numerous advantages compared to other joining processes such as fastening, welding, and riveting. For effective design of the adhesively bonded engineering lap joints, it is essential to govern the failure potential of a particular adhesive joint under a certain load causing some stress and strain. In this work, study has been carried out by the application of multiple adhesives along the bondline region of lap joint. The objective of this paper is to experimentally examine the results of applications of single and multi-adhesives material with very different mechanical behavior along the bondline region in the single lap adhesive joint. Experimental investigations have been carried out for extracting load displacement data using tensile testing machine, Tensometer, having a capacity of 2 tonne. Multi Adhesive joint can minimize the stress concentration and improve joint strength by using different adhesive stiffness along the bondline region of lap joint and the outcome shows computable increase in the strength of the multiple adhesive bonded lap joints associated with those in which single adhesives were used over the full length of the bondline region.
