Comparative Study of Mechanical Behavior between an Adhesive Made from Date Palm Waste and FM-73 Adhesive

Article Preview

Abstract:

The thickness of the adhesive has a major influence on the shear strength of bonded assemblies. This work is based on a study of the fatigue behavior of two cracked aluminum (2024 T351) plates repaired by patch (graphite/epoxy) under cyclic loading. For this we used a computer code to study the propagation of fatigue cracks to predict the life of the plates repaired named AFGROW. The first plate was repaired using an adhesive made from date palm waste whereas the second plate was repaired using FM-73 adhesive. The results obtained from this study show that, despite the low shear modulus of the adhesive made from date palm waste and the very low film thickness, the joint bonded with the latter gives good joint strength and a lifetime (number of cycles) similar to the joint bonded with the FM-73 adhesive when the thickness of the joint of the adhesive is greater than that of the adhesive made by the waste of the date palm. This shows that the strength of the bonded joint increases rapidly from very low thicknesses (less than a few hundredths of a millimeter). Finally, we recommend using the adhesive made from date palm waste for patch repair as well as for applications such as lightweight construction, electric vehicles or solar panels.
