Failure analysis of AA8011-pultruded GFRP adhesively bonded similar and dissimilar joints
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In this work, a comparative failure analysis of aluminum (AA8011/AA8011) and glass fiber reinforced polyester (GFRP/GFRP) based similar and dissimilar joints is presented. The GFRP is prepared using pultrusion technique. Single lap joints are prepared by using Araldite R2011 epoxy as an adhesive. The lap joints are then tested under tension to estimate the average shear strength of the assembly. It is observed that the average bond strength of AA8011/AA8011 is lesser than that of the GFRP/GFRP joint. The failure of similar joints occurred by fracture within the adhesive. The dissimilar joint is failed predominantly by interface debonding. Further, a detailed three dimensional stress analysis of the joints is carried out using finite element method (FEM). The damage analysis of adhesive layer is carried out by coupling FEM with cohesive zone model (CZM). The stress, damage distributions and failure mechanisms are compared for similar joints in detail. A failure mechanism is proposed for AA8011/AA8011 type joint that favours a rapid crack growth in the adhesive after crack initiation, which is responsible for lesser bond strength. The increase in overlap length has positive effect that the peak load increases proportionally with overlap length.
