Hygrothermal aging effects on tensile strength of acrylic vs. epoxy adhesive CFRP lap joints: a comparative analysis
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) bonded structures are widely used due to their lightweight and high specific strength. However, research on durability of adhesively bonded single lap joint (SLJ) under hygrothermal conditions remain insufficient. Therefore, the aging process and residual strength of CFRP-bonded SLJs with different adhesives were studied. Condition were set to 55 °C and 95 % relative humidity (RH) to accelerate the hygrothermal aging tests. The accelerated aging time represents 5.77 times of that in 25 °C 70 %RH environment. Moisture absorption behavior of CFRP adherent and adhesive layer were analyzed, respectively. After the same aging period, residual tensile strength and decrease rate of acrylic-based specimens and epoxy-based specimens were compared. For each specimen, Digital image correlation (DIC) technique is used to record the deformation and load–displacement curve from the beginning until fracture. Then the morphology of the failure surfaces was analyzed by using a super-depth microscope. To evaluate their performance and clarify the failure mechanisms, Finite element method (FEM) simulations were conducted. Coupling with experiment results, tensile force was addressed to the correlated peak stress on the bonding interface, and fracture evolution were predicted. The results show if hygrothermal time is short, the acrylic-based adhesive behaves better. But from the view of decrease rate, epoxy-based show better aging resistance, especially when hygrothermal time is longer. The proposed coupling method and study results may help in the design of adhesively bonded CFRP structures.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
