HOW TO ENHANCE THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF AN
ADHESIVE JOINT WITH COMPOSITE SUBSTRATE?
Adhesives:Adding particles and nanoparticles, spew fillets at the ends;
Substrates:
-
Using high-toughness materials on the outer surfaces of the laminates;
-
Shaping the adherends;
-
Changing the surface treatment
-
Changing the stacking sequence of the unidirectional laminaeIS IT POSSIBLE TO IMPROVE THE PROPERTIES OF AN
ADHESIVE JOINT WHILE KEEPING THE SAME MATERIALS,
SURFACE TREATMENT, ADHESIVE, ETC.,?
MOTIVATION

QUAD
Most usual stacking sequence
General form
Laminates must be symmetric
10% rule
DOUBLE DOUBLE(DD)
Lighter structure with a faster layup
General form
Homogenization capability
When tapered, heterogeneous quad property changes, while
homogenized DD remains constant (Tsai, 2021)

Parametric analysis to
obtain the laminates’
effective properties using
the three-point bending
test: (a) QUAD; (b) DD
(the color bars indicate
the error range and the
pink circles are the
minimal errors).

Force-displacement
experimental curves and
analytical initial stiffness for
the three-point bending test:
(a)
QUAD with E1=15.5GPa
and G13=1.9GPa;
(b)
(b) DD with E1=14.3GPa
and G13 =2.0GPa.
CONCLUSIONS
16
Maximum load in ENF test for DD joint was 13% higher than for QUAD
G
IIC
for DD joint was 38% higher than for QUAD
DD layup may delay the crack propagation when compared to QUAD
Vertical displacement fields were higher in QUAD than in the DD layup
