Effect of Temperature on Shear Strength of Adhesively Bonded Joints for Automobile Industry

Article Preview

Abstract:

Due to the significant effect on vehicle lightweight, adhesively bonded joint in structural components is widely adopted in automobile industry in recent years, which leads to the benefits in fuel economy, reduced emissions and driving safety. In this paper, the performances of adhesively bonded joints with three different adhesive types after different temperature treatments are investigated through joint shear strength test. Visual inspection is performed on fracture surfaces after joint failure. Results showed that both low and high temperatures have impact on joint strength and lead to different fracture modes. Stiff and flexible adhesives also result in different fracture surfaces in the overlap zone as the temperature varies.
