Abstract

Project PAJ3 Combined Cyclic Loading and Hostile Environments was one of the three projects in the Materials Measurement programme Performance of Adhesive Joints (1996-1999). This report summarises the achievements of the project made in the six technical tasks.
1. Review of test methods, statistical methods and analytical models;
2. Test method development;
3. Data analysis and modelling;
4. Failure analysis;
5. Design methodology;
6. Standardisation.
An integrated approach was adopted to design/analysis of adhesively bonded joints for combined mechanical loading and hot/wet environmental conditions. The approach included statistical analysis techniques, finite element analysis (FEA), analytical modelling, fractography, chemical analysis and mechanical testing. The project developed test and design methodologies suitable for both quality assurance and design purposes. Statistical analysis techniques such as design of experiments (DOE) has been successfully employed to assess data that was either produced in-house or sourced from industry and published results.
