Adhesive joints for structural timber/glass applications : Experimental testing and evaluation methods

Blyberg, Louise ; Serrano, Erik LU orcid ; Enquist, Bertil and Sterley, Magdalena (2012) In International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives 35. p.76-87
Abstract
<p>A study of three different adhesives, silicone, acrylate and polyurethane, intended for adhesive joints in structural timber/glass applications is presented in this paper. Intentionally, adhesives with a wide range of properties were chosen. The adhesive bonds between timber and glass were tested both in tension and in shear with a bond area of 800 mm<sup>2</sup>. Special fixtures were designed both for gluing and testing the specimens. The results include strength and failure type of the adhesive bond as well as deformation of the bond lines, measured with LVDTs and a non-contact optical 3D-deformation measuring system used in combination with finite element modelling in order to obtain detailed information about the...
