OS1704 Impact Strength of Adhesively Bonded Joints at Low Temperature
Details
The impact strength of adhesively bonded joints was investigated at a low temperature. Tubular but joint specimens consisting of stainless steel were utilized for the test and loaded with a biaxial testing machine by which a combined loading can be applied to the specimens. The specimens were cooled with vapor of liquid nitrogen and the tests were canied out at -40 C. The impact strength increased with respect to loading rates at room temperature in all the radial direction of loading directions. However, the strength remained unchanged at -40 C even in high rate loading conditions.
