| Summary: | Adhesive bonding is one of the most important joining methods available nowadays.
So, it is important to know the properties of the adhesive in designing the product that
required adhesive bond. Polyester resin, one of most widely used adhesive is tested in
the project. The purpose of the project is to determine the strength of the polyester with
different composition of aluminum filler in polyester resins. Three tests were conducted
which are tested with different joint geometry, different overlap joint length and bulk
specimen test. The results are interpreted in the diagram to make the comparison based
on the strength, strain, and load to failure of test specimen. From the project, different
methods has shows influence to the strength of polyester adhesive. The load to failure of
polyester is varying from test to test because the load to failure is influenced by the
changes in adhesive during testing. From the test, bulk specimen test for polyester resin
shows lower strength than simple single lap joint test. Bulk specimen test show more
precise reading than joint test. So, the data from bulk specimen test is more convenient
to use as reference during designing |
