Fatigue behaviour of composite adhesive lap joints
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with a fatigue study of composite adhesive lap joints produced from a bi-directional woven E-glass fibres and polypropylene. The adhesive used was a Bostik 7452 (Rubber & Plastics Grade) ethyl cyanoacrylate type. The effects of layer orientation, lap joint length and water immersion on the fatigue behaviour were studied. The specimens were immersed in water during periods until ninety days for controlled temperatures of 20, 40 and 70 C. The results are presented in the form of curves of stress amplitude versus number of cycles to failure and also in the form of number of cycles to failure against time to exposure in water for fixed stress amplitudes. The fatigue damage and failure mechanisms were analysed and discussed. The joint shows that creep deformation within the temperature range of this study was probably the mainly cause of the dynamic stiffness reduction observed. # 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

In this paper, considering an adhesively bonded composite single-lap joint, a novel approach is presented to predict the peel and shear stress distributions of the adhesive layer for an ASTM standard test sample. In current method, the equilibrium equations are derived using the energy method and based on the Timoshenko’s beam theory. Two solution procedures then are discussed, one of which rep...

A novel semi analytical method is developed for transient analysis of single-lap adhesive joints with laminated composite adherends subjected to dynamical loads. The presented approach has the capability of choosing arbitrary loadings and boundary conditions. In this model, adherends are assumed to be orthotropic plates that pursuant to the classical lamination theory. Stacking sequences can be...

Effects of SMC surface preparation and test speed on the joint performance are evaluated. Finally, the effect of water exposure on the joint durability is also in...
متن کاملDamage Evolution in Composite Bonded Joints under Fatigue Loading
The fatigue behaviour of single lap bonded joints under fatigue loading was already investigated and a suitable life prediction model was presented and validated [1-2]. The model is based on the actual damage evolution under fatigue load: a crack initiation followed by its propagation up to a critical length [2, 3]. In the present paper the evolution of fatigue damage in single lap joints is ex...
