Modelling degradation in adhesive joints subjected to fluctuating service conditionsMubashar, Aamir January 2010 (has links)
Adhesive joining is an attractive alternative to conventional joining methods, such as welding and mechanical fastening. The benefits of adhesive bonding include: the ability to form lightweight, high stiffness structures; joining of different types of materials; better fatigue performance, and reduction in the stress concentrations or the effects of the heat associated with welding. However, concerns about the durability of adhesive joints still hinder their widespread use in structural applications. Moisture has been identified as one of the major factors affecting joint durability. This is especially important in applications where joints are exposed to varying moisture conditions throughout their useful life. The aim of this research is to develop models to predict degradation in adhesive joints under varying moisture conditions. This was achieved by a combination of experimental and numerical methods. Experiments were carried out to characterise the moisture uptake and mechanical properties of the single part epoxide adhesive, FM73-M. Single lap joints were manufactured from aluminium alloy 2024 in heat treated (T3) and non heat treated (O) states using the FM73-M, BR127 adhesive-primer system. Tensile testing of the single lap joints was carried out after the joints had been exposed to hot-wet conditioning environments. Models were developed for predicting moisture concentration in the adhesive under cyclic moisture absorption and desorption conditions. A finite element based methodology incorporating moisture history was developed to predict the cyclic moisture concentration. In the next step, a novel finite element based methodology, which was based on moisture history effects, was developed to determine stresses in bonded joints after curing, conditioning and tensile testing. In the final step, a moisture history dependent cohesive zone element based damage and failure criterion was introduced to predict damage initiation, crack growth and failure under variable moisture and temperature conditions. The methodology proposed in this work and its implementation by finite element method provides a systematic approach for determining the degradation in adhesive joints under varying environmental conditions and accomplishes the aim of this research.

Comportamento das forças de adesão do adesivo selante de silicone e do mastic butílico sob o efeito da radiação ionizante. / Behavior of the adhesion forces of silicone adhesive sealant and butyl mastic after the exposure to ionizing radiation.Costa, Wanderley da 15 December 2011 (has links)
Os adesivos são produtos capazes de manter materiais unidos, mediante ligações entre as superfícies. Selantes são produtos capazes de manter preenchido um espaço entre duas superfícies, por meio de uma barreira que se configura como uma ponte entre as duas superfícies. O mastic é um produto obtido por uma mistura de substâncias tendo como principal polímero o butil, com consistência de uma massa não secativa que pode ser utilizada como selante. Os polisiloxanos, também conhecidos como silicones são os mais importantes polímeros sintéticos com estrutura inorgânica, e são matrizes dos adesivos selantes de silicone. Para comprovar como o comportamento das forças de adesão destes produtos acontece, foram utilizadas cinco técnicas diferenciadas. Estes produtos foram submetidos a duas condições distintas para verificar o comportamento da adesão, um em condições ambiente e outro sob influência de radiação ionizante. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram não só a diferença entre produtos (silicone e mastic), mas também que as forças de adesão têm comportamentos diferentes nas condições às quais foram submetidas às amostras. Com isto atingi-se o objetivo desse estudo que é apresentar a diferenciação entre o mastic e o silicone, muitas vezes considerados como um só produto denominado mastic. Desta forma comprova-se que: 1. o silicone pode ser considerado um adesivo selante em condições ambientes, 2. o mastic melhora consideravelmente sua adesão, quando submetido à radiação ionizante, e esta característica de adesão pode ser uma excelente alternativa para o mercado de adesivos. / Adhesives are products that can keep materials together by bonds between the surfaces. Sealants are products that can keep filled a space between two surfaces, through a barrier that is configured as a \"bridge\" between the two surfaces. The mastic is a product made of a mixture of substances with the primary butyl polymer, with the consistency of a mass not dried that can be used as a sealant. The polysiloxane, also known as silicone are the most important synthetic polymers with inorganic structure, and are matrices of silicone adhesive sealants. To demonstrate the behavior of the adhesive forces of these products under different conditions, we used five different techniques. These products were subjected to two different conditions to verify the behavior of adhesion, one at the environmental condition and another under the ionizing radiation. The results showed not only differences between products (silicone and mastic), but also that the adhesive forces have different behaviors under the conditions which the samples were subjected. With this was reached the goal of this study that aspired show the differences between the mastic and silicone, this last one is often considered - erroneously - the same as mastic. Thus it was proven that: 1. silicone can be regarded as an adhesive and a sealant at ambient conditions, 2. mastic improves substantially adhesion in an environment of ionizing radiation and this property can be an excellent alternative to the adhesive market.

Influência do posicionamento do espécime na resistência adesiva à dentina e na espessura da camada de sistemas adesivos / Influence of dentin surface inclination on bond strength and adhesive layer thicknessPazinatto, Flavia Bittencourt 06 April 2006 (has links)
Investigou-se a influência da inclinação das paredes de dentina (paralela ou perpendicular à ação da gravidade) e da variação regional dos espécimes (terços cervical ou oclusal) na resistência adesiva e na espessura da camada de adesivo. Vinte e cinco molares humanos foram seccionados no sentido mésio-distal e paralelamente ao seu longo eixo, obtendo-se secções vestibulares e linguais, as quais foram lixadas produzindo-se superfícies planas de dentina. Sistemas adesivos (Adper Single Bond-SB e Prime & Bond 2.1- PB2.1) foram aplicados na dentina, ora paralelamente ora perpendicularmente à ação da gravidade, padronizando-se o volume de adesivo (3,5 µl por gota) através do uso de uma micropipeta e seguindo-se as instruções dos fabricantes. Os grupos de estudo foram: 1A (SB, paralelo), 1B (SB, perpendicular), 2A (PB2.1, paralelo) e 2B (PB2.1, perpendicular). Após 24h de armazenamento em água deionizada a 37°C, espécimes foram preparados na forma de palitos de dentina com área adesiva de 0,8 mm2, aproximadamente. Na seqüência, foi determinada a espessura do adesivo de cada espécime, em micrômetros (µm), sob microscopia óptica (200X de aumento) e auxílio do programa Image Pro-Plus 4.5. Posteriormente, os espécimes foram submetidos à microtração sob velocidade de 0,5 mm/min. Todos os espécimes fraturados foram examinados sob microscopia óptica (40X de aumento) para a determinação dos planos de fratura. Os dados coletados foram submetidos aos testes ANOVA a 1 e 2 critérios e SNK (? = 0,05). Para determinação da correlação entre resistência adesiva e espessura do adesivo foi utilizado o teste de Correlação de Pearson. Os valores médios (MPa±d.p.) de resistência adesiva dos grupos 2A (52,93±15,19) e 2B (52,27±16,54) foram superiores àqueles dos grupos 1A (39,09±12,90) e 1B (32,94±12,42), independente da inclinação das paredes de dentina dos mesmos. Não houve diferença nos valores de resistência adesiva à dentina, independente da variação regional do espécime. Os valores médios (µm±d.p.) de espessura da camada de adesivo dos grupos 1A (11,24±2,92) e 1B (18,11±7,31) foram superiores àqueles dos grupos 2A (4,20±1,81) e 2B (3,87±1,29) (p > 0,05). O grupo 1B promoveu os maiores valores de espessura de adesivo, seguido do grupo 1A. As espessuras do adesivo nos grupos 2A e 2B apresentaram-se similares entre si. Houve influência da variação regional do espécime na espessura de adesivo somente para o grupo 1B. Não houve correlação entre resistência adesiva e espessura de adesivos para ambos SB e PB2.1 (r = -0,224, p = 0,112 e r = 0,099, p = 0,491, respectivamente). Conclui-se que a influência da inclinação das paredes de dentina e da variação regional dos espécimes na espessura da camada de adesivo é material-dependente, porém não influem na resistência adesiva dos sistemas adesivos à dentina. / To determine the effect of the inclination of dentin surfaces (parallel or perpendicular to the force of gravity) and the regional variation of specimens (cervical or occlusal thirds) on the dentin bond strength and adhesive layer thickness. Twenty-five extracted human molars were sectioned in a mesio-distal direction to expose flat dentin. Standardized drop volumes of adhesive systems (Single Bond-SB and Prime & Bond 2.1-PB2.1) were applied to dentin according to manufacturers instructions. Teeth were randomly divided into the following groups: 1A (SB, parallel), 1B (SB, perpendicular), 2A (PB2.1, parallel) and 2B (PB2.1, perpendicular). Teeth were stored in 37°C distilled water for 24h and then serially sectioned to obtain sticks with cross-sectional area of approximately 0.8 mm2 for microtensile bond strength test (MTBS). The thickness of adhesive layer of the MTBS specimen was determined in a light microscope at 200X magnification. Forty-eight hours after adhesion procedures the specimens were subjected to MTBS at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. After testing, the fracture modes of each specimen were determined by examination under a 40X magnification. One and two-way ANOVA and Student- Newman-Keuls-SNK tests were performed do determine differences in MTBS and in adhesive layer thickness among groups. The correlation between MTBS and adhesive layer thickness was compared with Pearson Product Moment Correlation ('alfa' = 0.05). Mean values (MPa±s.d.) for bond strength were higher for groups 2A (52.93±15.19) and 2B (52.27±16.54) than for groups 1A (39.09±12.90) and 1B (32.94±12.42), regardless of the position of dentin surfaces. There was no difference in MTBS, despite the regional variation of specimens. The thickness of adhesive systems (µm±s.d.) was higher for groups 1A (11.24±2.92) and 1B (18.11±7.31) than those for groups 2A (4.20±1.81) and 2B (3.87±1.29). Group 1B provided the greater mean values of adhesive thickness followed by the Group 1A. Similar adhesive thicknesses were found for Groups 2A and 2B, but significantly lower than the other groups. There was a significant influence of the regional variation of specimens on the adhesive thickness of group 1B. No correlation was found between bond strength and adhesive layer thickness for both SB and PB 2.1 (r = -0.224, p = 0.112 and r = 0.099, p = 0.491, respectively). The inclination of dentin surface and the regional variation of specimens on the adhesive layer thickness are materialdependent. These variables do not influence the adhesive systems bond strength to dentin.

Predicting mechanical performance of adhesively bonded joints based on acousto-ultrasonic evaluation and geometric weightingKarhnak, Stephen J. 02 May 2009 (has links)
Prediction of the performance of adhesively bonded joints is essential to the acceptance of this mode of fastening. In ideal situations where the bonding is uniform throughout the joint the stress distribution depends on the material properties and the joint geometry. Knowledge of the bond properties and the stress distribution and magnitude can then be used to determine failure initiation, damage growth, subsequent stress distributions, and final failure. However, few bonds can be characterized as "ideal", as the bonding is generally not uniform throughout the joint and even the properties of the adhesive may vary. This paper describes work that addresses this situation. Acoustic microscopy has been used to provide a detailed image of the bonded joint, while acousto-ultrasonic measurements have been used to evaluate the stress transfer capability of modified lap shear joints. Knowledge of the stress distribution in the joint has provided a means of identifying critical areas of interest in the joint. The adhesively bonded composite specimens were mechanically tested and performance correlated with NDE results. Wave mode filtering is offered as a phenomena describing the basis for the correlation. / Master of Science

Performance of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Tapes In Wood Light-Frame Shear WallsJacobs, William P. V. 27 May 2003 (has links)
The performance of connections and full-scale shear walls constructed with acrylic foam pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape is the focus of this thesis. The objectives of this study were first to investigate the bonding characteristics of adhesive tape to wood substrates and then to expand this investigation to cover adhesive-based shear walls subjected to high wind and seismic loadings. A total of 287 monotonic connection tests and 23 reversed cyclic wall tests were performed to achieve these objectives. Connection tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D 1761-88 (2000), and walls were tested using the CUREE (Consortium of Universities for Earthquake Engineering) general displacement-based protocol.
Variables investigated within the main study were the following: the use of OSB versus plywood sheathing, the effect of priming and surface sanding on adhesion, and the comparison of connections involving mechanical fasteners with those that utilized only adhesive tape or a combination of the two. It was found that an application pressure of 207 kPa (30 psi) or greater was needed to form a sound bond between the acrylic foam adhesive tape and a wood substrate. Properly bonded OSB and plywood connections provided fairly ductile failure modes. Full-scale walls constructed with adhesive tape performed similarly to traditional wall configurations, while walls constructed with a combination of adhesive tape and mechanical fasteners provided significant gains in strength and toughness. The results of this study serve to provide a foundation for expanding the engineering uses of acrylic foam adhesive tape for structural applications. / Master of Science

Comparing In Situ and Bulk Constitutive Properties of a Structural AdhesiveGrohs, Joshua Walter 28 August 2007 (has links)
In the continuing quest for more efficient designs, structural adhesives are being used in place of, or with, traditional fastening methods; however designing with adhesives is refined as traditional methods. To obtain the adhesive design properties, tests are often performed on bulk tensile and bonded shear specimens. Questions remain about the relationship between properties obtained from in situ adhesive joints and bulk adhesive specimens. As a result, an experimental plan was developed which characterized both the linear and nonlinear region of bulk and in situ adhesive performance of a two-part acrylic adhesive from Dow Chemical Company. A standard uniaxial tensile test was used for the bulk normal, while an Iosipescu shear test was used to characterize the bulk shear performance. In situ testing was performed on a napkin-ring specimen loaded in both tension and torsion. Stress-strain relationships in both shear and normal were developed and bulk and in situ adhesive performance was compared. Observations from testing were:
1. Bulk shear and in situ shear tests showed similar performance in both the linear and nonlinear regions.
2. Modulus of elasticity in bulk adhesive tests was similar to the effective modulus of elasticity in in situ tests.
3. Prediction of normal yield strengths of the in situ adhesive through simple failure theory models proved to be inaccurate. Stress singularities, loading imperfections, and potentially a hydrostatic sensitivity were considered possible explanations.
4. Adhesive showed sensitivity to voiding and surface flaws when loaded in a tensile configuration, refinement of specimen fabrication minimized these effects. / Master of Science
