Adhesive Lap Joints Strength
Abstract: This article is concerned with the influence of surface treatment on the strength of single lap joints. The tensile tests were carried out in order to find the surface treatments which maximize joint strength using polypropylene reinforced glass fiber as adherents. The maximum shear strength was obtained with the trichlorethylene plus primer treatment when using a cyanoacrylate adhesive. The pretreatment effectiveness was evaluated in terms of environmental durability and an important decrease in static strength of adhesive joints occurred when they were immersed in water. Introduction: Single lap joint is the simplest to manufacture, however, this configuration is the weakest [1]. Therefore these joints are essentially used for lightly loaded applications. The loading eccentricity promotes a rotation of the joint and as a result peel stresses occur. Such stresses are very important in the failure process. In this case it is very important to minimize peel stresses, which can be reduced by an ideal superposition length [24], tapering of the adherents [58], adherent thickness [2,911], adhesive thickness [9,12], adherent strength and elastic modulus [10,11,13], adhesive strength and elastic modulus [2,14].
