Experimental Studies of the Strength of an Adhesive Joint in a State of Combined Stress

Abstract
The adhesive strength of a butt-type specimen of two cylinders is experimentally studied. Combined stresses are applied on the adhesive layer by subjecting the specimen to combined axial load, torsion and internal pressure. The effects of the surface roughness, the thickness of adhesive layers and the combined stresses on the adhesive strength are examined for the specimens of various metals bonded with epoxy resin. The adhesive failure locus under the combined stress state are represented by a polynominal equation of stress tensors.
