6. STRESS AND STRENGTH EVALUATION OF DOUBLE LAP ADHESIVE JOINT

An adhesive is a substance which when applied to the surfaces of materials binds that surfaces together and resists separation. The strength of the adhesive joints under impact loads has become more important because of their huge use to the aircraft and a utomobile industries. In industries, adhesives are used to join the different or same material. But when those joined material comes under use, It might or might not burst. It relies on the amount of load placed on the joint, the kind of adhesive material used to attach the materials, and the area where the two materials come into contact. Joint failures are a major factor in equipment breakdowns that result in expensive downtime. To prevent that, we should know the strength of the adhesive joint for that t wo particular material.
