Experimental Study of Effect of Adhesives on Strength of Composites Adhesive Joints

Abstract:

Tension tests on T700/EXOPY unidirectional laminates and 3-D and six-directional braided composites single-lap adhesive joints with different adhesive types under uniaxial tensile loading are performed in the presented paper. Failure modes, strengths and load-displacement curves of two kinds of different adhesive joints are compared and analyzed. According to the experimental results, it is found that the strength of the joints of the smaller adhesive shear strength is less, in contrast, the strength of the joints of the bigger adhesive shear strength is greater, Failure shear strength average is grown 27% relatively. And the starting position of the crack is appeared at the overlap ends, and the whole joint is failed with propagation of the crack.
