摘要
In this study, the shear strengths of Al 7075-HSS adhesive bonded, grooved and smooth plates were investigated. The proven toughness and durability of adhesives have drawn the attention of researchers who want to take advantage of the technology to benefit the development of ballistic resistance sandwich panels. However, the strength of the panel depends on the design of surface topography. Therefore, it is essential to understand the fracture upon loading parallel to the plane of the adhesive bonded metal plates. In this experiment, toughened epoxy was used to bond dissimilar metal plates at 1 mm thickness. The shear tests were performed with a universal-testing machine to identify the maximum fracture loads. The results showed that a shear lap joint specimen with a grooved surface yields a higher strength than a smooth specimen. From the fracture behaviour of all specimens, interfacial failure with some degree of cohesive failure was observed. This indicates that the strength of the adhesive-bonded metal plate driven by a mechanical interlocking effect and mode of failure for thick bondline was the result of interfacial strength rather than adhesive bulk strength. Shear value results and fractography for 1 mm bond thickness provide insights towards steel fibre application in epoxy.
