This paper aims at investigating the adhesive property at damage analysis according to the shape of the DCB test specimen made of Titanium, Dualumin as the high strength nonferrous metals. In this analysis, all three specimens had the lower holes bound by the cylinder support and the top holes were elongated with the rate of 6mm/min. The study results show that the longer the load block of DCB specimens, the more reliable and durable they are. It is utilized as the basic data at investigating the damage properties of adhesives in DCB specimens made of high strength nonferrous metals.
This study aims at analyzing the property of the structural body bonded with alumimum foam by the utilization of the aluminum foam of closed type used generally with impact absorbent. The structural bodies bonded with the aluminum foam of DCB and TDCB are designed in this study, and then the fatigue analysis and experiment are carried out. At fatigue analysis, the maximum load happens at all of each specimen models when the fatigue life of 0 to 50 cycle is proceeded. And from the point of time that the maximum load happens, the load at the bonded surface is seen to be decreased in cases of analysis and experiment. As the specimen thickness is increased, the maximum load happened at specimen is increased. It is confirmed that the result of fatigue analysis becomes similar to that of fatigue experiment for verification. It is thought that the study data on various specimen thicknesses can be secured simply without the extra fatigue experimental procedure. By using this study result, the mechanical properties of the structural bodies bonded with the alumimum foams of DCB and TDCB with mode Ⅲ type can be thought to be analyzed effectively.
Because aluminum foam is porous material, the frature property is different from that of non-porous material. This aluminum foam can be used with the joint bonded with adhesive in order to utilize the light weight to the maximum. So, the study of fracture property on bonded surface can be important. In this study, the analyses on the specimens with two kinds of configuration as DCB(Double Cantilever Beams) and TDCB(Tapered Double Cantilever Beams) aluminum foams of mode Ⅲ type bonded with adhesive are carried out and compared with each other. And the fracture properties the adhesive surfaces of the structure with bonded aluminum foams are studied as the static experiments on these verifications are done. DCB and TDCB specimens used in this study have the variable of thickness(t) as 35mm, 45mm and 55mm. As the result of this study, the range of reaction forces are 0.3 to 0.8 kN and 0.5 to 1.2 kN at DCB and TDCB specimens respectively. The results of the static experiments can also be confirmed with these similar results. These study results can be obtained by only a simulation without the special experimental procedures. The mechanical properties of the bonded structures composed of DCB and TDCB aluminum foams with mode Ⅲ type can be thought to be analyzed effectively.
As aluminum foam has the most superior absorption of impact energy, this material has been used at automobile and airplane. If aluminum foam is used by jointing bolt and nut, it can be broken. Therefore, it is more effective to bond aluminum foam and other materials by adhesive. In this study, the fatigue fracture simulation through ANSYS program is carried out on the aluminum foam specimen bonded with adhesive as the type of DCB Mode Ⅲ. There are four kinds of specimens with the types of DCB Mode Ⅲ in this study. The thicknesses of four specimens are 35mm, 45mm, 55mm and 65mm. In cases of specimen thicknesses of 35mm, 45mm, 55mm and 65mm, the maximum loads are shown as ±0.2kN, ±0.55kN, ±1kN and ±1.2kN respectively. As the specimen thickness increases, the maximum loads increase. The results of fatigue experiment as specimen thickness of 55mm can be shown to approach the simulation results by confirming the simulation results of this study. So, The simulation data can be applied in order to investigate the mechanical property at DCB specimen with the type of Mode Ⅲ.
