This document presents four analytical methods for predicting the strength of single overlap adhesive joints: Volkersen's shear lag analysis, Goland and Reissner's theory, the generalized failure criterion, and the adherend failure criterion. It also examines the effect of surface treatment on joint strength. Experimental testing showed that untreated joint surfaces were four times weaker than treated surfaces. Two of the analytical methods - Volkersen's analysis and the adherend failure criterion - achieved reasonably accurate predictions of failure load.

EFFECT OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS ON CHARACTERISTICS OF SQUEEZE FILM BETWEEN POROUS...IAEME Publication
In investigation aims to analyse the effect of transverse surface roughness on the squeeze film performance between porous rectangular plates. The associated differential equation is stochastically averaged making use of stochastic averaging method of Christensen and Tonder for transverse surface roughness. The equation is solved with appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the pressure and consequentlythe load bearing. The graphical results suggest that the bearing suffers because of transverse surface roughness. However the situation is slightly better in the case of

Effect of Bond Layer on Tri-Layered Assembly Subjected To Differential Unifor...IJERA Editor
In the present analytical and numerical study, the thermal mismatching stress induced under differential
temperature conditions of tri-layered assembly with bond is investigated. The thermal mismatching stresses are
one of the reasons for structural failures between two or more connected devices. Therefore it is very essential to
understand variation of these stresses and estimation in the interfaces play an important role in design and
reliability studies of microelectronic assemblies. In this paper, a physical model is proposed for the interfacial
shearing and peeling stresses occurring at the interfaces of tri-layered dissimilar materials with the effect of
bonding subjected to differential uniform temperature in the layer. It observed from both analytical and
numerical study that the shearing stress reduced in the range of 60% to 70% at interface (1-2) and 35% to 40%
at (2-3) interface. Peeling stress are continuously reduced in the range of 10% - 20% at (1-2) interface and 13%
- 35% at (2-3) interface due to the influence of bond layer. Thus, it indicates that, the bond layer consideration
may influence significantly on interfacial stress. It is found that the both interfacial shearing stresses and peeling
stresses decreased considerably at the interface with the increase of bond layer thickness.

Effect of Surface Roughness on Contact Pressureijsrd.com
In engineering problems surface roughness is often neglected for the sake of simplicity of model and to reduce time, but surface roughness plays an important role in many engineering applications like MEMS, Thermal Contact Conductance, and Insulation etc. In this paper, modeling of surface roughness is done in Ansys 13 and effect of surface roughness on contact pressure is shown. The rough surface model created as array of asperities with the same radius of asperities and same asperity height, which is assumed to be following Gaussian distribution. The modeling is done for surface roughness 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 μm. The effect of surface roughness on contact pressure is shown by comparison of contact pressure of 1 and 5 μm roughness. Physical dimension of the two body contacting each other is 1 X 1 X 6 mm. The pressure applied on the body is 1.8MPa with consideration of other body with fix support.
This document discusses modeling the elastic properties of laminated composites. It first defines composites as materials made of two or more distinct constituent materials. It then discusses various properties of composites like strength and corrosion resistance. It classifies composites based on their matrix material and reinforcement type. It also discusses volume and weight fractions. Rules of mixture are presented for calculating longitudinal and transverse modulus. Stress-strain relationships and analysis methods for orthotropic laminates are described. Forces, moments, and the inverse of the stiffness matrix for laminated composites are defined. Computer simulation of composite modeling allows for virtual testing of multiple design scenarios.
A new method is developed for determining material hardness from depth sensing indentation tests. Both loading and unloading data are used to calculate Meyer hardness values, which agree well with conventional optical measurements. While the new method characterizes hardness even for elastic materials, the conventional mean contact pressure definition differs significantly from hardness for elastic materials. A relationship is found between work during loading and unloading that allows hardness to be calculated using only load-depth data.
While the computed transported turbulence dissipation rate, , works well as part of a differential
equation-based turbulence model in predicting turbulent flows, it doesn’t seem to work well when used to
determine the Kolmogorov length-scale (ℓ퐾표푙) which, like the other Kolmogorov scales, exists within the viscous
sublayer portion of the inner turbulent boundary layer zone. Using may lead to an increase in ℓ퐾표푙 as roughness
increases, the opposite of what should happen. It is proposed here to replace the computed (and its level at the
1
st point off the wall as dictated by wall functions) with the one resulting from basic law-of-the-wall sublayer
relationships which includes the Prandtl-Schlichting (P-S) roughness effect. This approach enables physically
correct prediction of ℓ퐾표푙, particularly a reliable decrease thereof with increasing roughness level.
Analysis of stiffened isotropic and composite plateIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper that analyzed both isotropic and composite plates with and without stiffeners using finite element modeling. It presented the following key points:
1. Finite element models of isotropic and composite plates were created using shell and solid elements in ANSYS to analyze the effect of stiffeners on plate deformation and stress.
2. Parametric studies were performed by varying the length, thickness, and height of stiffeners to minimize plate deformation without increasing material volume.
3. Results showed that stiffened plates had significantly less deformation than bare plates for the same material volume. Deformation generally decreased with increasing stiffener size.
Interfacial delamination failure in bonded concrete overlay systems a review...IAEME Publication
This document reviews theories and modeling methods for describing delamination failure at the interface between two bonded cementitious materials. It discusses traditional stress-based and energy-based failure criteria approaches. It presents the interface cohesive zone model (ICZM) as a viable approach for describing and predicting delamination in bonded concrete overlay systems. The ICZM treats delamination as a progressive failure involving both crack initiation and propagation. It considers distinct analytical cases involving material and structural property variables. The concluding model shows that numerical values of delamination coefficients and energy release rates vary depending on overlay scale, problem type, and material property mismatches.

The document summarizes research on the pressure distributions at the interface between the friction material pad and disc rotor in disc brakes. Finite element analysis was used to predict pressure distributions for a particular floating caliper passenger car brake under static and dynamic conditions. The results showed that the friction material compressibility, pad backplate thickness, coefficient of friction, caliper flexure, disc stiffness, and piston contact all influence the pressure distribution. Controlling the pressure distribution through design is important to ensure consistent brake performance.

The analysis uses the finite element tool ABAQUS to model simply supported cross-ply laminates and compare the displacement and stress results to analytical solutions. The numerical model considers shear deformation and transverse thermal strains and predicts the hygrothermal response of symmetric and antisymmetric angle-ply plates with different layer orientations and material properties.
This document summarizes a study on plastic zone size and effective distance under mixed mode fracture using a volumetric approach. U-notched circular ring specimens made of 45CDS6 steel were subjected to compression loading with notch radii ranging from 0.15-2mm and angles from 0-33 degrees. Finite element analysis was conducted to determine stress distributions. Two methods were used to evaluate plastic zone size - the volumetric method relating it to effective stress and notch stress intensity factor, and the von Mises yield criterion. The plastic zone sizes determined from both methods showed good agreement. A new model was proposed to evaluate plastic zone size under mixed mode fracture conditions.

The general concept is applied to the macroscopic stress-strain interaction model of material plasticity. Examples of metallic materials are elaborated on reported theoretical and experimental strain data.

A numerical solution of mhd heat transfer in a laminar liquid film on an unsteadIAEME Publication
This document summarizes a numerical study of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) heat transfer in a laminar liquid film on an unsteady stretching surface. The study considers the effects of viscous dissipation, internal heating, and an external magnetic field. Governing partial differential equations for momentum and heat transfer are non-dimensionalized using similarity transformations and solved numerically using a shooting method with a fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm. Results show that higher values of the unsteadiness parameter reduce the surface temperature, and temperature-dependent heat absorption is better for cooling, while temperature-dependent heat generation enhances temperatures in the boundary layer.
The document presents a study on laminated fibre-reinforced composite materials. It investigates the behaviour of laminate configurations with different ply orientations. It examines the concept of an equivalent isotropic laminate for material selection. Strength design is considered by analyzing through-thickness stress distribution, σx, of laminates with isotropic stiffness properties and stress variation with angle ply orientation. Mechanical and thermal behaviours under load are also analyzed.
This document summarizes numerical simulations of concrete elements using two approaches to model cracks: smeared cracking models and discrete cracking with cohesive elements. Smeared cracking models included elasto-plasticity with Rankine criterion, continuum damage mechanics, and smeared crack models. Cohesive elements were used to model discrete cracks.

In this project a composite laminated beam is studied with glass-epoxy and graphite-epoxy combination. The beam is composed of four layers of different combination of composite material (glass epoxy and graphite epoxy composite). The beam is simply supported at both the ends and is subjected to uniformly distributed load along the length. Transverse deflection is computed for different lamination angle (0^0-〖90〗^0) by using Euler- Bernoulli’s theory (or CLPT). Maximum transverse deflection analysis is carried out using derived analytical expressions. The research carried out in this project will enable to determine the beam strength due to bending loads. The importance of fibre reinforcement in the manufacturing of the beam is studied in terms of bending strength of the beam. MATLAB codes are generated to implement analytical expiations of the composite beam.
The main objective of the paper is to find out the lamination angle at which minimum deflection is obtained & to find out the effect of lamination angle on maximum transverse deflection of the beam.

Numerical and Theoretical Analysis for Investigation of Shear strength of A J...ijsrd.com
This document presents a numerical and theoretical analysis of the shear strength of an adhesive joint used in an automotive application. Finite element analysis was conducted using ABAQUS software to determine the shear stresses induced in two adhesive materials joining a brake shoe assembly under an applied torque load. Shear stress values from the finite element analysis were validated using theoretical calculations. The results showed that one of the adhesive materials (Material 2) produced lower shear stresses than the other (Material 1) according to both the numerical and theoretical analyses. The study aimed to determine the optimal adhesive material and joint design to maximize shear strength for the automotive application.
We conducted molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the atomistic edge crack vacancy interactions in graphene. We demonstrate that the crack tip stress field of an existing crack in graphene can be effectively tailored (reduced by over 50% or increased by over 70%) by the strategic placement of atomic vacancies of varied shapes, locations, and orientations near its tip. The crack vacancy interactions result in a remarkable improvement (over 65%) in the fracture strength of graphene. Moreover, at reduced stiffness of graphene, due to a distribution of atomic vacancies, a drastic difference (~60%) was observed between the fracture strengths of two principal crack configurations (i.e. armchair and zigzag). Our numerical simulations provide a remarkable insight into the applicability of the well-established continuum models of crack microdefect interactions for the corresponding atomic scale problems. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the presence of atomic vacancies in close proximity to the crack tip leads to a multiple stage crack growth and, more interestingly, the propagating cracks can be completely healed even under a significantly high applied tensile stress level (~5 GPa). Our numerical experiments offer a substantial contribution to the existing literature on the fracture behavior of two dimensional nanomaterials.
Numerical modeling of uneven thermoplastic polymers behaviour using experimen...Marcos Bianchi (Msc_Mba)
This document discusses numerical modeling of the behavior of uneven thermoplastic polymers using experimental stress-strain data and pressure dependent yield criteria to improve design practices. It presents the following:
1) Four polymers (PA-66, PA-6, PP, HDPE) were tested under tension and compression to determine their unevenness levels. PA-6 and PP showed significant unevenness, with compressive yield strengths 25-70% higher than tensile strengths.
2) Pressure dependent yield criteria that account for unevenness, such as conical and parabolic modified von Mises models, were reviewed. These criteria incorporate the effect of hydrostatic pressure on yield strength.
3) Experimental stress-strain data was
Pullout Behavior of Geotextiles: Numerical PredictionIJERA Editor
This numerical study used PLAXIS software to simulate laboratory pullout tests of two geotextiles (G1 and G2) embedded in sandy soil. The simulations matched experimental load and displacement data reasonably well. G2, the stiffer geotextile, showed lower strains than G1 in both the simulations and experiments. The numerical model is a useful design tool for predicting load transfer and defining geotextile anchorage lengths without costly physical testing.

This document summarizes a study on the friction mechanisms of fresh concrete under pressure. It discusses how friction occurs in many civil engineering applications and influences concrete pressure on formwork. Tribometer tests were conducted on different concrete mixes to study how parameters like plate roughness, sliding velocity, concrete mix design, grain size, and water reducers influence friction stress. The concrete mixes tested ranged from normal concrete to self-compacting concrete. Test results provide insight into adapting mix designs for applications and developing friction models for fresh concrete.
Integrated Methodology for the Seismic Design of Reinforced Embankments with ...IRJET Journal
This document presents an integrated methodology for the seismic design of reinforced soil embankments with berms (slopes with stepped terraces). The methodology is based on limit analysis and the quasi-static approach. It accounts for seismic loading conditions and considers cohesionless soils that deform plastically according to the Coulomb failure criterion. A software application was designed to implement this methodology for seismic design. It allows the user to define seismic hazard and design reinforced slopes based on potential failure planes. The results are compared to conventional methods and finite element analysis. Continuous slopes are also compared to slopes with berms, highlighting the advantages of composite geometries for high embankments.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

Gas agency management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.

Abstract
A two-component high-ductility adhesive (acrylic and catalyst based), SikaFast® -
5211 NT, was used to bond single overlap joints with mild steel adherends and 25
mm of overlap. One joint configuration used treated bonding surfaces while the
other was did not employ treatment of the adherend surfaces, with the aim of
studying the influence of the material surface treatment. The specimens were tensile
tested in a INSTRON® universal testing machine and the non-treated surface have
shown a strength four times lower than the treated surface. Several analytical
methods were used to predict joint strength, with two methods achieving
reasonably accurate failure load predictions.

1. Introduction
More than ever, adhesive bonding is becoming an important solution for achieving permanent
mechanical joints. Adhesive bonding enables the manufacture of products with clean and
visually appealing joints (without outstanding features like bolts, welding marks, rivets, etc.),
but perhaps their most important advantage is their ability to efficiently join two different
materials. This is a critical factor in the manufacture of composite structures construction and
it the increased use of these advanced materials has significantly expanded the use of
structural adhesives. In addition, adhesives are also able to compensate for differences in
thermal expansion, which is very advantageous for use in structures exposed to heat.
Nevertheless, adhesive bonding also has some inconveniences and disadvantages. One of the
most critical aspects of adhesive joints is their strong dependency on the surface preparation
condition (da Silva, Magalhães, and Moura 2007). Due to its high surface tension, metals tend
to absorb oils and contamination present in vapor form. If the aim is to increase long term
durability several options are available such as using vapor degreasing with an organic solvent
such as trichloroethane, sandblasting (increasing the adhesive contact surface by roughening
the metal surface) and chemical etching, by removing all the weakly bonded oxides and
forming strongly bonded ones. In order to design a strong and durable joint, it is necessary to
take into account several aspects such as: adhesion theory, adhesive properties, joint

modelling and surface preparation. The study presented in this document is related to the last
two of these topics, focusing on the quality of surface preparation and its impact on the
prediction of joint strength. The prediction of joint strength can be attained using many
different models that try to quantitatively describe the mechanical behaviour of an adhesive
bond. The models applied in this work are the shear lag analysis or analytical method of
Volkersen (Volkersen 1938) (capable of modelling the elasticity of the adhesive material), the
Goland and Reissner first approximation (Goland and Reissner 1944) (which does not neglect
the joint rotation), the Generalized Failure Criterion (Hart-Smith 1973) (which takes in account
of the ability of the adhesive material to withstand plastic deformation) and the adherend
failure criterion (Adams, Comyn, and Wake 1997) which is based on the Goland and Reissner
Theory and suitable for adherends that deform plastically. The following sections will detail
the calculation associated with these methods.
1.1. Volkersen’s criterion for shear lag analysis
The Volkersen model is an analytical method that assumes perfectly linear elastic behaviour
from the adhesive bond and an interface continuity condition. The shear lag model or
differential straining considers that the only mechanism of load transference from one
adherend to another is a simple shearing mechanism (Gomes 2004; Adams, Comyn, and Wake
1997). Therefore, indirectly also imposes that:
the adhesive deforms only in shear or,
the adherend deforms only in tension.
These assumptions would be entirely true if the adhesive material had null ductility, or if the
evaluation was purely made in the elastic domain. However, it is expected to be accurate in
the presence of brittle adhesive materials, which is not the case.
The following equations model the shear stress distribution through the joint according to
Volkersen.

Note that the indexes 1 and 2 refer to the adherend relative position. The previous expressions
where deduced admitting the hypothesis of different materials and geometry for each of the
adherends. This model is schematically shown in Figure 1.

Since it is necessary to quantify the maximum load supported by the joint, it is advantageous
to combine (1) with (2) and considering (5) all comes:
𝑃 =
𝜏 ⋅𝑏 ⋅2 sinh(𝜆𝑙)
𝜆⋅ [cosh(𝜆(𝑙−𝑥))+cosh(𝜆𝑥)]
(7)
For the limit case 𝜏 = 𝜏 𝑦 𝑎
𝑃 =
𝜏 𝑦 𝑎 ⋅𝑏 ⋅2 sinh(𝜆𝑙)
𝜆⋅ [cosh(𝜆(𝑙−𝑥))+cosh(𝜆𝑥)]
(8)
Before determining the output of 𝜆 it is necessary to estimate the shear modulus of the
adhesive material (𝐺). For perfect isotropic materials, the parameters 𝐺 𝑎, 𝐾, and 𝑣, are
related by the following expression (Gomes 2004):
2𝐺(1 + 𝑣) = 𝐸 = 3𝐾(1 − 2𝑣) (9)
The materials that probably more closely approach the isotropic behaviour are polymers.
Assuming an isotropic behaviour from the polymeric adhesive we can estimate 𝐺 from (9):
𝐺 𝑎 =
𝐸 𝑎
2 ⋅ (1 + 𝑣)
≈ 0.093 𝐺𝑃𝑎 (10)
The results will be the same for each specimen, since no analytical criterion is capable of
modelling an adhesion defect.

1.2. Goland and Reissner theory
The Goland and Reissner theory was devised to model the effect of the bending phenomenon
that occurs during tensile testing of a single lap joint.
As shown in Figure 2, the stress state is more complex than that described by Volkersen. A
bending moment and a transverse load must be taken in account.

The existence of non-collinear loads is demonstrated in Figure 3.
Figure 3: a): Undeformed single overlap joint, with exaggerated bending moment, resulting from
the non-collinear loads. b) Geometrically representation of the Goland and Reissner bending
moment factor. Adapted by the authors from Adams, Comyn, and Wake 1997
The bending momentum can be represented by the following equations.
𝑀0 =

(13)
𝑀 = 𝑘 ⋅

(14)
In fact, the model described here consists on the first theory or approximation of Goland and
Reissner. In order to be able of solving the nonlinear problem that the introduction of joint
rotation yielded, two limiting cases were considered.
In the first case, the adhesive layer was considered to be of negligible thickness so that its
effect on the joint flexibility can be neglected compared with that of the adherend thickness.
In the second case, the joint flexibility was mainly due to the adhesive layer.
The following equations model the shear stress distribution on the adhesive material.

1.3. Generalized failure criterion
The Generalized Failure Criterion is a specific case of the Hart-Smith theory. For very ductile
adhesives, it is a good approximation of the reality to assume that the whole adhesive length
will deform plastically before adhesive failure occurs.
According to Hart-Smith, this assumption produces fairly good results for adhesives with more
than 20% of ductility, which should be a good match for the ductile adhesive used in this work.
The maximum load will be simply given by:
𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝜏 𝑦 𝑏𝑙 (17)
1.4. Adherend failure criterion
In an attempt to cover all the aspects mentioned earlier, Adams, Comyn, and Wake (1997)
devised a simple but robust strength prediction procedure. Their approach divides the
problem in two extreme cases:
For ductile adherends and adhesives the failure analysis is done in conjunction with
the Goland and Reissner theory, assuming that the adherend is the weakest link in the
chain.
For stiff adherends and very ductile adhesives materials, the generalized failure
criterion is used.
The overlap length parameter greatly influences this division. The higher the overlap length,
the lower is the influence of the adhesive ductility. Figure 4 illustrates the relationship
between overlap length, failure load and the locus of failure.

The formulation proposed by Goland and Reissner does not take in account of the adhesive

The maximum adherend failure load can be calculated simply by running an iteration process.
This work intends to perform a practical validation of the criteria mentioned above, providing
the reader with the capability to choose the criterion most suited for each application. The
main goals of this experiment consist on the understanding the practical difficulties associated
with the preparation and execution of a single overlap joint, and its standard procedures, on
studying the influence of the surface preparation of the adherend in the joint resistance. In
addition, this work also performs a comparison of the results of the different criteria used to
predict the joint mechanical resistance with the experimental results.

polymer that cures at room temperature when reacting with a catalyst hardener. The catalyst
hardener is present in the second smaller container and it is mixed with a 10:1 volume ratio.

Adhesive bonding is essentially a surface phenomenon and the preparation of the contact
surface is a vital condition for avoiding adhesive failure of the joint. To assess this effect, two
specimen configurations were prepared for use in this study, one configuration with a treated
surface and a second configuration with no surface preparation.
For the treated specimens, the first manufacture step consisted in cleaning the zone to be
bonded with acetone. This was performed to remove all grease, dust, oils and lubricants that

might exist. After, the same surface was manually sanded with fine grain sandpaper. The aim
of this step was to remove the contamination layer (adsorbed gases, weakly bonded oxides,
etc.) that decreases the interface energy. Sanding was performed in two perpendicular
directions, shown in Figure 6, to ensure that the surface is uniformly sanded. After sanding,
the surface was cleaned with acetone and scrubbed with absorbent paper to remove the
ceramic dust and degrease the surface.
The untreated specimens were not subjected to any type of preparation and therefore were
used in the “as supplied state”.
Figure 6: Pattern of +45° and -45° on the adherend
After preparing the surface, the adherends were correctly aligned within the metallic mould,
shown in Figure 7. Since the mould, shims and pins are metallic, it is important to apply a
release agent. Otherwise, in the case of adhesive overflow the specimens would be bonded
to the mould and the ensuing removal process could easily damage the specimens and the
mould surface.

Shims are devices that enable perfect control of the adhesive thickness, fillet geometry and
overlap length (da Silva et al. 2008; da Silva et al. 2009). In this specific case, no fillets were
created. The shim configuration used in this work is shown in Figure 8.

To mix the two-part adhesive, there is no need to use pneumatic applicator guns or centrifugal
mixers to ensure a void free adhesive. The mixture of the two components is done
automatically in the mixing tip. To ensure a perfect mixture, the first few grams of mixed
adhesive were not used for bonding.
The adhesive was applied with the shim, lower adherend and positioning blocks already in the
mould. The upper adherend was placed over the adhesive. The adhesive application process
must be quick, as the open life of the adhesive is only about 3 minutes. The adhesive was
applied in an alternating pattern to minimize air entrapment (Figure 9). The mould was then
closed and a 10 Kg weight was used to apply pressure on the specimens.

resin and hardener) used
This pressure application procedure ensures that there is no free movement of the substrates
during the cure process.
The cure parameters used were:
Temperature - Room temperature (between 15°C and 25°C)
Time – 14 min (recommended by the manufacturer for room temperature curing)
After the curing process, the specimens were carefully removed from the mould and
separated from the spacers. The adhesive excess was manually removed with a file, reducing
variability and enabling direct comparison of their results.The specimens were then tested in
an INSTRON® (Norwood, MA, USA) universal testing machine (shown in Figure 10). The tests
were made at a crosshead speed of 2 mm/min speed, which approximates a quasi-static
loading condition.

3.1. Experimental results
After completion of mechanical testing, the load-displacement curves were plotted for each
of the specimens. Figure 11 shows representative load displacement curves for specimens
with and without treated surface.

(with treated surface and in supplied state)
From this data analysis, it becomes evident that the surface preparation has a great influence
on joint strength. The absence of surface treatment decreased the joint resistance more than
4 times (calculated by comparing the two peaks in Figure 11). There is a clear nonlinear

deformation zone mainly due to the plastic deformation of the adhesive. Even though the
adherend plastically didn’t yield, its elastic deformation produced a more disadvantageous
stress state (bending moment), which significantly contributed to the premature failure of the
adhesive. The representative fracture surfaces of the specimens are shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12: Aspect of the specimens after traction tested. On the left is the surface treated
specimen, a), and on the right the joint that was manufactured with the adherend as supplied b)
To the naked eye, all failures could be classified as adhesive failures. Which would indicate
that the treatment applied to the two specimen configurations was not effective.
For the untreated specimens, that is true and completely expected. Since there was no
treatment applied to its surface. However, this was not expected for the treated specimens,
which were subjected to surface treatment. Nevertheless, the adhesive suffered noticeable
plastic deformation, which can be indicated by the off-white colour compared with the
original grey showed by the untreated specimens (visible on Figure 12). It is possible that the
fracture was cohesive and a very thin film of adhesive remained on the other adherend. This
assumption can only be confirmed by analysis with a scanning electron microscope, which due
to logistic constrains, was not possible.
3.2. Analytical results
Volkersen model
The Volkersen model was used to plot the relation between the maximum allowed load, as a
function of the position of the overlap length, Microsoft Excel® (Microsoft, Redmond WA,
USA) was used. The plot is shown in Figure 13.

This plot allows the calculation of the failure load for the case under study:
𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥 ≈ 5616.6 [𝑁] , occurring at 𝑥 = 0 𝑚𝑚 and x = 𝑙 = 25 𝑚𝑚
This model is obviously limited in utility as the Volkersen method does not take in account the
possibility of plastic deformations. Even when comparing a highly alloyed steel with a carbon
steel the plot difference would be small since the elastic modulus variation with the alloy
elements is also small.
However, this model is suited for a quick analysis of the effect of overlap length on joint
strength. It becomes clear that the longer the overlap length, the higher the joint strength. An
increase of 2 times in the overlap length, yields an increase of 1.56 times in the joint strength.
𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥
𝑃𝑥
= 1.56 (28)
As mentioned by Adams, Comyn, and Wake (1997), the increase of the overlap length is not
the most efficient parametric optimization, being highly surpassed by the control of the
overlap length. This control variable is also not studied in this paper but Figure 14 provides a
qualitative visualization of the different possible responses.
Since the elongation 𝜀 𝑟 of the adhesive is very high (≈200%), in other words it’s far from being
considered brittle, a large contrast between the experimental and theoretical results is
expected.
Even in small amounts, the elongation in the plastic domain of the adhesive yields an increase
in the failure load. So, the theoretical values should be considerably more conservative than
the real values.
Lastly, it is important to note that the Volkersen’s shear analysis takes no account of the non-
collinear load directions. This yields a bending moment applied to the joint in addition to the
in-plate tension. The rotation of the adherends will give rise to a geometrically non-linear
problem. This specific phenomenon is better modelled by the Goland and Reissner Theory
(Goland and Reissner 1944). For materials with low elastic modulus, like some composites,
there have been some corrective modifications proposals to takes on account the adherends
bending effects. Some authors (Zhu and Kedward 2005) usually employ what are known as
TOM solutions (Tsai, Oplinger, and Morton 1998), which apply a correction to the shear lag
model for single and double lap joints and assume that the shear stress is linear through the
adherends.

Goland and Reissner model
Using the Goland and Reissner model, a plot showing the distribution of the tension through
the overlap length was created and is shown in Figure 15. Note that in this case the x
coordinate is considered to be zero at the midpoint of the overlap length.

This calculation allows the estimation of the following maximum load:
𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥 ≈ 4716.5 𝑁
Generalized failure criterion
For ductile adhesives, the generalized failure criterion allows a quick estimation of the failure
load, simply by multiplying the shear strength of the adhesive by the bonded area. According
to this method, the failure load for the joints under study is:
𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥 ≈ 6250.0 𝑁
3.3. Adherend failure criterion
Using the formulation proposed by Adams, Comyn, and Wake (1997), the maximum adherend
failure load was calculated by running an iteration process. The failure loads predicted for
each iteration are shown in Table 4 and Table 5.

Table 6: Summary of analytically predicted failure loads
A final comparison between the theoretical and experimental results is shown in Figure 16. It
is worth mentioning that the theoretical results can only be compared with the experimental
results from the treated specimens, since the untreated specimens exhibited extremely low
failure loads induced by adhesion failure.
Figure 16: Comparison of all theoretical and experimental results.
Experimental results correspond to the treated specimens
The two variants of the Adams, Comyn, and Wake (1997) theory applied were expected to
overpredict a maximum failure and this indeed occurred. As the adhesive has a very ductile
behaviour, the probability of the adherend being the weakest link was low. However,
considering that the adherend was composed of mild steel, with a relatively low mechanical
strength the adherend failure could still be a possibility.
Looking now for the Hart-Smith’s model forecast, an over predicted estimation was also
expected. Its inability for modelling the bending effect that happens during the test can be
advanced as the main reason behind the model’s inaccuracy. The assumption of entire plastic
deformation on the overlap length can be validated by Figure 12a), where a uniform off-white
colour can be seen.
The Generalized Failure Criterion was expected to suit this adhesive well given its ductility.
However, the predicted result was slightly higher than the experimental value. This was
probably due to the occurrence of adhesive failure.
Although the result obtained by the Volkersen theory seems reasonably accurate, this model
cannot be understood as useful for the case under study. The fact that it does not take in
account the bending effect over predicts the joint resistance. However, since it also models
the adhesive as a brittle and elastic material, with null plastic deformation, the failure load

would be under predicted. Its relative accuracy can therefore be attributed to a random
combination of adhesive and adherend properties, and geometrical joint aspects.
Lastly, the Goland and Reissner model has provided a good, yet slightly conservative,
prediction. This was expected as, in contrast to the Volkersen method, the Goland and
Reissner theory does take into account to the bending moment, eliminating the previously
described problem. In addition, since the Goland and Reissner theory evaluates not only the
shear stress but also the peeling stress, a failure criterion was applied.
4. Conclusions
This work has demonstrated the extreme importance of surface treatment in the mechanical
behaviour of an adhesive joint. Although both specimen types under test suffered adhesive
failure, there was still a significant difference between treated and untreated specimens,
highlighting the influence of the surface treatment. In this work, even specimens that were
cleaned and mechanically treated still did not reach the full potential of the adhesive. A future
work could focus on the improvement of the adhesion, by means of an alternative surface
treatment method such as sandblasting or primer application.
Among all the analytical models used to predict joint strength, the Generalized Failure
Criterion, the Goland and Reissner method and the Volkersen criterion were those closer to
the experimental result. However, the Volkersen criterion is not applicable to the adhesive
and adherends under study, so it cannot be considered as correct.
