Types of Joint Stress

Regardless of the joint type used, it’s important to understand the different stresses that are imparted onto a bonded assembly. Adhesives and tapes perform at their best when the stress is two-dimensional to the adhesive, dispersing a load across the entire area of a bond line. Adhesives and tapes perform at their worst when the stress is one-dimensional to the adhesive, concentrating a load onto the leading edge of a bond line. Many traditional joint designs incorporate these one dimensional stresses and may require modification for an adhesive bond to be most effective.#Stress #Cleavagestress #ShearStress #Peelstress #Tensilestress #Construction #Civilengineer #design #adhesivebond #load #building #BDA #IEA #COA #aecearth #swifterzacademy #swifterz
