Abstract:

Clamping connections are a good alternative to traditional combination techniques used in the industry.  The interest in adhesive connections is increasing every day due to its proper distribution, discharge, corrosion, combination characteristics of different types of parts and many more advantages. Despite the many advantages of the adhesive connections, their strength against the robbery tensions is not good. This is why the connection model in the attachment connections is of great importance. In this study, two types of connectivity models have been used, which are the straight connectivity and the curved connectivity. These connector models are manufactured using aluminum alloy plates (A2024-T3) and combined with acrylic structural adhesive (DP810). The curved riding and straight riding connections were exposed to the burden of pulling and the results were compared. Three-dimensional connectivity models were created for the analysis of the final elements and a cohesive area model was used based on the energy principles to predict the strength of the attachment connection. Verification tests have also been conducted to verify numeric solutions.
