Adhesive joint monitoring techniques employing poly(vmylidene fluoride) piezoelectric film are discussed. Adhe sive cure monitoring and void/porosity detection were performed ultrasonically using the film. Cyclic bond-normal stresses were quantified by imbedding film sensors into the adhesive bondline and measuring the electrical voltages produced in the sensors by the stresses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
