Mechanical Behavior of Adhesively-Bonded Joints under High Loading Rates

MEHMET EMIN ERCAN, FERHAT KADIOGLU

Abstract


This work aims to investigate the dynamic behavior of adhesively-bonded Single Lap Joints (SLJs) under ballistic conditions. For this purpose, the joints with clamped-clamped boundary conditions were modelled using a Finite Element Method (FEM) via ABAQUS package program. The numerical model is based on the joint subjected to a projectile with a mass of 1.25 gr, a density of 11.3 gr/cm3, and an impacting velocity of 100 m/s. The experimental tests conducted in a specially designed set-up were performed via an air-pressurized gun. 6061 aluminum adherends and an adhesive film were used to manufacture the bonded structure. Curves of the velocity and dynamic load against time were predicted for the joint under the impacting projectile. Failure and stress distributions in the adherend as well as in the adhesive layer were predicted that was validated via the experimental results. The prediction was made according to the worst case scenario that accounts the input data obtained from the quasi-static conditions.
