Abstract

In this study, the thickness was set as the variable and TDCB specimen was designed in order to investigate the adhesion strength characteristics of the slip mode made from aluminum foam. The dimensions of the models are the length of 200 mm and various thicknesses of 15 mm, 30 mm, 45 mm, and 75 mm. According to analysis results of the model with 15 mm thickness, when the forced displacement became about 5.3 mm, the maximum load appeared to be 188 N and a maximum equivalent stress of about 2.99 MPa occurred, respectively. According to the analysis results of specimens, when the propagation of the forced displacement is about 5.3 mm, a maximum reaction force of about 940 N appears whereas when the propagation of the forced displacement is about 22 mms, the reaction force almost disappears. When the trend of experiments and analysis results are applied to the four models used in this study, the adhesion strength of TDCB adhesive structure made from the aluminum foam of varying thickness can be evaluated. Therefore, it is expected that the structural safety can be anticipated by only an analysis without experiments in the actual adhesive structure.
