hot-curing epoxies are often chosen in automotive or aerospace applications
cr
for structural bonds. The cure at elevated temperature, however, can cause
distortions, especially if thin-walled structures like e.g. car body shells are
us
involved. Fuchs et al. (2010) divided panel distortions into local and global
ones. While global ones describe the overall deformation of the bonded struc-
an
ture, local distortions appear along the bond line close to the adhesive.
These distortions are caused by the evolving properties of the adhesive
over a cure cycle: the adhesive transforms from a viscous liquid to a vis-
M
coelastic solid. At the same time, the cross-linking process causes a volume
reduction of the polymer, often referred to as chemical shrinkage. In addition

Priesnitz et al. (2014a); Chudaska and Hahn (1993) monitored the position
of a composite panel. These publications show that distortions can occur
early in the cure cycle when the structure is still heating up.
Hahn and Jendrny (2003) predicted the displacement of a steel strip dur-
ing cooling. Fuchs et al. (2010) predicted the curvature of a steel and a
composite panel. Patankar et al. (2013) calculated residual stresses in a bi-

us
In this work, the development of local panel distortions is simulated and
the simulation results are compared with experiments. To that end, the
an
material constants of a commercial epoxy-based hot-curing adhesive system,
Betamate 1496V (BM1496V), are determined. The simulation model is
based on an earlier work by Priesnitz et al. (2014b) and allows for chemically
M
and thermally induced property changes of the adhesive. Priesnitz et al.
(2014a) provide experimental data on distortion development in different

increases steadily until no reactive groups are left over. In that fully cured
state, q has the value 1.

Kinetic parameters can be obtained with a differential scanning calorimeter
us
(DSC). A DSC monitors the heat flow dH/dt over time for a given temper-
ature profile. Since each epoxy group reacts exothermically and, therefore,
releases a specific amount of heat, the degree of cure can be linked to the
heat flow:

a 4.7 x 5.1 x 4.2 mm-sized block of fully cured material is exposed to three
temperature cycles in which the polymer is heated up slowly to about 200
° C and cooled down back to room temperature. The third heating phase is

used to determine the CTE. While the curve of the second and third heat-up
show hardly any difference, the first heating phase seemingly shows a nega-
d
a rearrangement of the contact area of the probe and the specimen during
the first heating cycle. Therefore, the first heat-up phase is ignored.

The viscoelastic properties of the fully cured material are determined with
a dynamic mechanical analyser (DMA). In a tensile set-up, the elongation

of a strip of the epoxy (23.0 x 7.58 x 0.34 mm) is monitored under dynamic
loading. A constant frequency sweep from 1 to 60 Hz is performed repeatedly
during continuous heating from 20 to 180 °C with 1 K/min.
A thermorheologically simple material behaviour is assumed such that a
master curve for the tensile storage modulus E 0 can be obtained by shifting

the tensile or shear modulus in cases where the adhesive occupies an uncon-

therefore, in the development of cure-induced shrinkage. Fig. 7 shows that

volume changes start already during the heating phase. In the fast heating

high heating rate (blue and red line) resemble each other: the curves start
to drop late in the heating phase or early in the holding phase to a plateau
level where they remain until the end of the isothermal phase. The second
drop sets in with the cooling down. Predictions and experiments show good
agreement for these curves. The simulation somewhat underestimates the
first decrease, whereas it overestimates the second. The fact that the H170-
23
Page 23 of 46
curve shows less absolute final displacement than the M170-curve, however,
is not reflected in the simulation results.
t
The simulation model allows further insights in the cure process. Fig. 13
ip
shows the development of the strain component εth for the steel, aluminium
cr
and the epoxy, and εch and εch + εth for the adhesive. Furthermore, the
black vertical line marks the gel point. Strain before the gel point cannot
us
cause permanent shear stress and, consequently, no displacement of the strip.
The gel point is reached in the isothermal phase; thermal strain components
an
do not change in that phase. Hence, the first drop in strain of the M170-
and the H170-curve in fig. 12 is caused by the chemical strain component
alone. As soon as εch fades out, no further displacement is seen. Strain in
M
the H170-cycle shows similar behaviour; the only difference is that the gel
point is passed later in the holding phase. The second drop in displacement
d
in all cycles is caused by the thermal shrinkage of the adhesive during cooling
te
From about t = −60 min on, however, both curves show similar shapes: a
down-up movement before the cure temperature is reached, a constant level
Ac
above zero during the isothermal phase and a larger drop during cooling.
The predicted strain contributions in fig. 13 can help to interpret the
experimental low heating-rate curve L170 in fig. 12. The chemical strain
development takes place entirely in the long heating phase. There, it causes
first an overall shrinking of the adhesive (mechanical strain neglected) and,
consequently, the up-down movement of the steel strip. As displayed already

in fig. 7, the gel point is reached during heating. The development of εch +εth
(green line) indicates that the adhesive tends to occupy more space in the
d
holding phase than at the gel point. That explains why the steel strip deflects
te
in the upwards direction during the isothermal phase (see fig. 12).
The experimental M155- and H155-curve in fig. 14 show, similar to the
p
lation results reflect that behaviour, but underestimate the depth of the first
drop and, therefore, the absolute final displacement. The observed difference
in displacement between the M155- and H155-cycle is not predicted by the
Ac
simulation.
The L155-curve has a less pronounced first drop than the M155- and
H155-curve, which also starts earlier in the cure cycle. The simulation re-
produces that, but with smaller depth and with a few minutes delay. Also,
the predicted first drops in the cycles M155 and H155 set in later than the

ones observed. This might be due to deviations of the simulated gelation
process from the actual one in the experiment. As in cycles with a cure tem-
d
perature of 170 ° C, the first drop in all 155 ° C-curves is linked to the strain
te
ment, the M170- and H170-graphs show more absolute final displacement
ce
than their 155 ° C-counterparts. The reason for that is the gel point, which
is reached at different temperatures for the M- and H-curves, but not for
Ac
the L-curves (see figs. 7 and 8). Only thermal strain from that point on
contributes to panel distortions.

erties of an adhesive during cure, namely thermally and chemically induced
volume changes and mechanical characteristics, was implemented in Abaqus
t
subroutines. Material constants of a commercial, epoxy-based system were
ip
determined making it possible to compare predicted panel distortions to ex-
cr
perimental data.
The simulation reproduced many phenomena seen in experiments: the
us
steel strip deforms already before the cooling down sets in; in case of low
heating rate even before the cure temperature is reached. For the application
an
engineer, it is noteworthy that distortions can start to develop early in the
bonding process and are not just determined by the cure temperature. The
final displacement depends on the entire temperature cycle. The simulation
M
model can help making the bonding process more robust to panel distortions.
