The effect of the strain rate on the mechanical behavior and the damage of adhesively bonded joints is one of the most important factors to consider in designing them. Vast research has been carried out on the dynamic behaviour of adhesives at different strain rates; however, the investigation about the dynamic behaviour of the adhesively bonded joints is limited. In this paper, the main objective is to study and assess the effect of the strain rate on the out-of-plane mechanical behaviour of adhesively bonded joints under dynamic compression using Hopkinson bars. These joints are studied using glass/vinylester composite materials which are commonly used in naval applications. The experimantal results have shown a strong material sensitivity to strain rates. Moreover, damage investigations have revealed that the failure mainly occurred in the adhesive/adherent interface because of the brittle nature of the polymeric adhesive. Results have shown good agreement with the dependency of the dynamic parameters on strain rates.

In this study, a new experimental approach in which the deformation, the damage kinetic, and the temperature are measured simultaneously during a high strain rate on adhesively bonded composite joints. Especially, our goal is to quantify the amount heat dissipation during impact and to identify the mechanisms that induce this dissipation. Out of plane dynamic compression tests were conducted on assembled specimens over a range of strain rate from 372 s−1 to 1030 s−1 using the Split hopkinson Pressure Bars technique. The specimen surface temperatures were monitored using an infrared camera. The increase in the strain rate has a dramatic effect on the stress–strain behavior producing a significant heat dissipation in the material. The infrared monitoring provides the spatial distribution of temperature that increase near the adhesive/adherent interfaces of the specimen. The observed temperature increase profiles clearly show that the stress concentration appears in the adhesive area and provide valuable information regarding the damage mechanisms and their role in the heat dissipation during dynamic loading conditions. The dependence of these results on strain rate indicates that there exists a correlation between the thermo-mechanical behavior and the strain rate effect, which might be useful when developping damage models taking into account the energy balance for adhesively bonded joints under impact loading conditions.

AbstractThe increasing use of fibre reinforced polymer composite materials in a wide range of applications increases the use of similar and dissimilar joints. Traditional joining methods such as welding, mechanical fastening and riveting are challenging in composites due to their material properties, heterogeneous nature, and layup configuration. Adhesive bonding allows flexibility in materials selection and offers improved production efficiency from product design and manufacture to final assembly, enabling cost reduction. However, the performance of adhesively bonded composite structures cannot be fully verified by inspection and testing due to the unforeseen nature of defects and manufacturing uncertainties presented in this joining method. These uncertainties can manifest as kissing bonds, porosity and voids in the adhesive. As a result, the use of adhesively bonded joints is often constrained by conservative certification requirements, limiting the potential of composite materials in weight reduction, cost-saving, and performance. There is a need to identify these uncertainties and understand their effect when designing these adhesively bonded joints. This article aims to report and categorise these uncertainties, offering the reader a reliable and inclusive source to conduct further research, such as the development of probabilistic reliability-based design optimisation, sensitivity analysis, defect detection methods and process development.

The dynamic mechanical response of high-performance thermoplastic composites over a wide range of strain rates is a challenging research topic for extreme environmental survivability in the field of aerospace engineering. This paper investigates the evolution of the dynamic properties of woven thermoplastic composites with strain rate and damage process at elevated temperatures. Out-of-plane dynamic-compression tests of glass-fiber (GF)- and carbon-fiber (CF)-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composites were performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Results showed that thermoplastic composites possess strain-rate strengthening effects and high-temperature weakening dependence. GF/PPS and CF/PPS composites had the same strain-rate sensitivity (SRS) below the threshold strain rate. The softening of the matrix at elevated temperatures decreased the modulus but had little effect on strength. Some empirical formulations, including strain-rate and temperature effects, are proposed for more accurately predicting the out-of-plane dynamic-compression behavior of thermoplastic composites. Lastly, the final failure of the specimens was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to explore potential failure mechanisms, such as fiber-bundle shear fracture at high strain rates and stretch break at elevated temperatures.

Analysis Methods

Adhesive bonding is one of the effective ways to reduce the weight of structures. Researchers have done lots of numerical analysis and finite element analysis taking into account of the complex stress state in the bonded area, as well as the stress singularity occurs at the overlap edges with a view to efficiently predict the strength and rigidity of adhesively bonded joints. As they may suffer shock or impact loads in practice which leads to high strain rate in structures, analysis methods for adhesively bonded joints differ from that at quasi-static condition for two reasons: one is the mechanical properties of materials, including adhesives and substrates are different at high strain rates, the other is the additional consideration of elastic wave propagation in solid body. This article summaries several finite element analysis methods for adhesively bonded joints at high strain rate developed by domestic and foreign scholars and corresponding experimental standards for determining required parameters of each analytical method and raised some questions that need for further study.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the behaviour of structural adhesive bonding under quasi-static and moderately high loading rates. It addresses the effects of the loading rate on the strength of the adhesively bonded joints under dynamic tensile. A comparison has been achieved between the strength and the damage of specimens’ made of aluminium and lamina substrates. High rate tests showed ringing in the force/displacement curves.
