The Effect of Temperature on the Strength of Adhesive Joints

Thermal effects, whether due to mismatch of the adherends or to adhesive contraction by temperature or cure, lead to significant changes in the stress state of lap joints. At the same time, the stress/strain properties of polymeric adhesives also vary considerably with temperature. The combined effe...

Description
Summary:Thermal effects, whether due to mismatch of the adherends or to adhesive contraction by temperature or cure, lead to significant changes in the stress state of lap joints. At the same time, the stress/strain properties of polymeric adhesives also vary considerably with temperature. The combined effect of these factors is illustrated by the variation of strength of single lap shear joints. Aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastics are bonded.
