Experimental Investigation and Model Validation of the Shear Strength of Hybrid Interfaces up to Complete Failure
The paper experimentally investigates hybrid interfaces pressure-reinforced and bonded with anaerobic adhesive. While their static strength has been deeply investigated, their behavior up to complete failure lacks of a constitutive model. This work aims to assess the applicability of a simple model involving a cohesive law and a pure friction law, in order to describe the interface behavior up to complete failure under different contact pressure levels. A systematic experimental campaign investigates the shear strength of cylindrical specimens butt-bonded and pressure reinforced over an annular surface. The tests involve two anaerobic adhesives and four pressure levels. The experimental torque-rotation curves confirm that the strain energy up to complete failure is given by a cohesive term and a pure friction term, both of them linearly dependent upon the contact pressure.
