Abstract

Mechanical joint and adhesive joint are two typical joining methods for structures. The adhesive joints distribute the load over a larger area than mechanical joints and have excellent fatigue properties. However, the strength of adhesive joint greatly depends on the environmental conditions and the skill of the operator. Therefore, there is a need for techniques to evaluate the quality of the adhesive joints. The electric resistance method is a very promising technique for detecting defects by measuring the electrical resistance of an adhesive joint in which CNTs are dispersed in an adhesive. In this study, Aluminium-Aluminium adhesive single lap joint specimens were fabricated by using the adhesive dispersing CNTs using a sonicator and a 3-roll mill, and the static strengths and defect detection capabilities of the joints using the electrical resistance method were evaluated according to the CNTs content.

기계적 조인트와 접착 조인트는 구조물의 일반적인 접합 방법이다. 접착 조인트는 기계적 체결법에 비해 넓은 면적에 하중이 분포되고 우수한 피로 특성을 가진다. 이러한 특성에도 불구하고, 접착 조인트는 환경조건이나 작업자의 숙련도에 대한 접착 건전성이 크게 달라진다. 따라서 접착 조인트의 건전성을 평가 할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. CNT를 접착제에 분산시켜 접착조인트의 전기적 특성을 측정하는 전기저항법은 결함을 검출하는 매우 유망한 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 분쇄기와 3-roll-mill을 이용하여 접착제에 CNT를 균일하게 분산시켰으며, 알루미늄-알루미늄 단일 접착 조인트를 제작하여 탄소나노튜브(CNT) 함량에 따른 정적 강도의 변화를 평가하고, 전기저항법을 이용하여 결함탐지능을 평가하였다.
