Summary

This paper reports on investigations of the dynamic characteristics of joints with loads applied normal to the joint faces, in which an epoxy resin adhesive has been used as the interface bonding material. Joint face surface topography and a range of adhesives with varying properties were examined.

Bonding joint surfaces with this type of adhesive increases both the static and the dynamic stiffness. The stiffness is dependent on the type of machined surface and quality of surface roughness. The range of adhesives available for bonding steel-to-steel all have similar stiffness characteristics. A small increase in damping is achieved when using the epoxy resin adhesives compared with that obtained with dry joints.
