Abstract
The technology of elastic adhesive bonding is utilized very often to join large components. Due to economic reasons large work pieces normally feature high tolerances and thus have to be adjusted geometrically. During that deformation process strains arise inside the work piece. These can lead to debonding caused by relaxation processes if the force of the strains is higher than the adhesive strength. Therefore the attainable quality of the adhesive bonding process often is reduced significantly. Hence a method to enhance the quality and flexibility for the elastic adhesive bonding of large components with high tolerances is needed. The main improvement of the methodology presented in this paper is an innovative algorithm for the optimized alignment of one component to another component, which is based on the actual distances between the work pieces and considers the emerging stresses inside the work piece due to the deformation also.
