Le collage structural se présente comme une alternative intéressante aux méthodes classiques d'assemblages par ajout d’éléments mécaniques pour alléger les structures aéronautiques. Cependant, l'utilisation de cette méthode soulève de nombreuses questions en termes de conception, caractérisation ou modélisation. Ce travail, à fort caractère expérimental, visent deux grands objectifs : (i) sélectionner les moyens d'instrumentation les plus adaptés pour la caractérisation du comportement jusqu'à rupture des assemblages collés et (ii) prédire le comportement des assemblages collés à partir d'une caractérisation et d'une modélisation complète sous chargements quasi-statiques bi-axiaux, en utilisant un type d’essai simple et industrialisable. Dans un premier temps, pour atteindre ces objectifs, un nouvel essai appelé Scarf modifié a été proposé, afin de caractériser le comportement mécanique du joint de colle, en minimisant les effets de bord par la présence de becs. La deuxième partie de la thèse porte sur le développement d'une stratégie de caractérisation simplifiée du comportement de joint de colle, sous certaines hypothèses (états de contraintes/déformations, continuité du champ de contraintes). Cette stratégie a permis d'obtenir le comportement intrinsèque de l’adhésif sous la forme de courbes contraintes/déformations. La dernière partie abordée dans ces travaux, s'intéresse quant à elle à l'identification et la sélection des moyens de métrologie les plus appropriés, pour accompagner la caractérisation expérimentale. / Today, structural bonding presents an interesting alternative to conventional methods of assembly, in order to reduce the weight within aeronautical structures. However, the use of this method raises many questions in terms of design, characterization or modeling. This work presents a robust experimental work, aiming two main objectives: (i) select the most suitable instrumentation for the characterization of the behavior of bonded joints up to failure and (ii) predict the behavior of bonded joints from complete characterization and modeling under quasi-static bi-axial loading, using a simple test, directly integrated to industry. In a first stage, to achieve this goal, modified Scarf test has been proposed to characterize the mechanical behavior of adhesive joints. This type of specimen allows applying multiaxial loadings without having high-stress concentrations near the edges. The second part of the thesis deals with the development of a strategy for simplifying the characterization of a bonded joint using some hypotheses (stress/strain states). This strategy allows obtaining the intrinsic behavior of the adhesive in the form of the stress/strain curves. The last part of this work deals with the identification and selection of the most appropriate instrumentation systems in the experimental characterization.

Currently shock effects on surface ships can be determined by full scale shock trials, Finite Element Analysis or semi empirical methods that reduce the analytical problem to a limited number of degrees of freedom and include hull configurations, construction methods and materials in an empirical way to determine any debilitating effects that an explosion may have on the ship. This research has been undertaken to better understand the effect of hull shape on surface ships' shock response to external underwater explosions (UNDEX). The study is within the semi empirical method category of computations. A set of simple closed-form equations has been developed that accurately predicts the magnitude of dynamic excitation of different 2- D rigid-hull shapes subject to far-field UNDEX events. This research was primarily focused on the affects of 2-D rigid hull shapes and their contribution to global ship motions. A section of the thesis,

Adhesively bonded joints have been investigated for several decades. In most analytical studies, the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory is employed to describe the behaviour of adherends. In the current work, three analytical models are developed for adhesively bonded joints using the Timoshenko beam theory for elastic material and a Bernoulli-Euler beam model for viscoelastic materials. One model is for the peeling test of an adhesively bonded joint, which is described using a Timoshenko beam on an elastic foundation. The adherend is considered as a Timoshenko beam, while the adhesive is taken to be a linearly elastic foundation. Three cases are considered: (1) only the normal stress is acting (mode I); (2) only the transverse shear stress is present (mode II); and (3) the normal and shear stresses co-exist (mode III) in the adhesive. The governing equations are derived in terms of the displacement and rotational angle of the adherend in each case. Analytical solutions are obtained for the displacements, rotational angle, and stresses. Numerical results are presented to show the trends of the displacements and rotational angle changing with geometrical and loading conditions. In the second model, the peeling test of an adhesively bonded joint is represented using a viscoelastic Bernoulli-Euler beam on an elastic foundation. The adherend is considered as a viscoelastic Bernoulli-Euler beam, while the adhesive is taken to be a linearly elastic foundation. Two cases under different stress history are considered: (1) only the normal stress is acting (mode I); and (2) only the transverse shear stress is present (mode II). The governing equations are derived in terms of the displacements. Analytical solutions are obtained for the displacements. The numerical results show that the deflection increases as time and temperature increase. The third model is developed using a symmetric composite adhesively bonded joint. The constitutive and kinematic relations of the adherends are derived based on the Timoshenko beam theory, and the governing equations are obtained for the normal and shear stresses in the adhesive layer. The numerical results are presented to reveal the normal and shear stresses in the adhesive.

The effects of high loading rates (HLR), and nano reinforcement on the mechanical response of adhesively-bonded SLJs with composite adherends, subjected to different loading (strain) rates are systematically investigated. The results are then compared to those of neat thermoset resin and thermo-plastic adhesive. More specifically, nano-reinforced and neat resin bonded joints mating carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy adherends were subjected to tensile loadings under 1.5 and 3 mm/min and tensile impacts at a loading rate of 2.04E+5 mm/min. In some cases, additional tests were conducted under 15, 150, and 1500 mm/min to obtain additional properties gained using the nano-reinforcements for use in the further numerical investigations. The HLR tests were conducted, using a modified instrumented pendulum equipped with a specially designed impact load transfer apparatus. The dispersion of nanoparticles was facilitated using a mechanical stirrer and a three-roll mill machine. The failure mechanisms were studied with a scanning electron microscope.

PR-2930 was developed by PPG Industries, Inc. to meet the challenging performance requirements of MIL-PRF-32662 Group-I-classified adhesives. PR-2930 is a high-strength, high-toughness, epoxy-based adhesive intended for automotive and aerospace applications. As PR-2930 functions as a structural adhesive, quantification of its mechanical properties and limit-states is a necessary task for designing joints bonded with the adhesive. The combination of both strength and ductility results in material non-linearities, making experimental characterization and numerical analyses more challenging. This work explores the quantification of fracture energy for PR-2930 bonded joints. Fracture can occur in one of three different modes, or in some combination. Many practical adhesive joints fail in the mixed-mode region involving both opening (mode I) and shearing (mode II) displacements. Mode I fracture was evaluated with double cantilever beam (DCB) tests, mode II fracture was characterized by end-notched flexure (ENF) tests, and varying degrees of mixed mode I/II fracture were assessed through single leg bend (SLB), single-lap joint (SLJ), and asymmetric DCB and SLB tests. Test specimens were fabricated by bonding Al 2024-T3 adherends, ranging from 1.6 mm to 25.4 mm thick, with a 0.25 mm thick PR-2930 adhesive layer. Digital image correlation (DIC) was used to experimentally measure local displacements and surface strains on the adherends. Standard data-reduction methods often used to determine fracture energies of bonded joint specimens were used to numerically analyze test results. These methods included the Corrected Beam Theory (CBT), the Compliance-Based Beam Method (CBBM), and the Paris and Paris J-Integral approach. Linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) conditions must be valid to correctly apply these methods, however plastic deformations were observed in some adherends. Drawbacks of these approaches and their validity for analyzing PR-2930 joints were discussed. To account for non-linearities, more advanced numerical analysis was performed using finite element analysis (FEA) with cohesive zone models (CZMs) to model the adhesive layer. CZM parameters such as fracture energies and traction separation law (TSL) shapes were determined from experimental data and published literature. Results from CZMs were compared to experimental load, displacement, and strain data. Recommended TSLs for mode I and mode II fracture were formed in this work as well as a mixed-mode relationship using a Benzeggagh-Kenane damage evolution law. More ideal analytical methods were suggested to simplify analysis of joints using the same or similar material compositions. / M.S. / Structural adhesives are used to safely transmit loads in our furniture, automobiles, aircraft, and buildings. PR-2930 is a newly developed epoxy that exhibits top-of-the-line strength and ductility. To safely design joints utilizing PR-2930, the bonding material and its limit states must be defined. The most pertinent mechanical limit state for adhesively bonded joints is its resistance to fracture, also known as fracture toughness. Fracture often occurs due to a combination of opening (mode I) or shearing (mode II) displacements. In this work, standard and novel advanced fracture characterization techniques are employed and subsequently compared. Adhesive joints using a 0.25 mm layer thickness are bonded to Al 2024-T3 adherends varying from 1.6 mm to 25.4 mm of thickness and tested in quasistatic conditions. Mathematical models of mode I, mode II, and combined mode I/II stress displacement responses (AKA a traction-separation laws) of PR-2930 are developed and compared with experimental data. Future experimental and numerical methods for fracture analysis of structural adhesives are discussed.
