Experimental investigation on strength of stepwise tailored single lap adhesive joint using second-generation acrylic adhesive via shear and low-cycle shear tests

Review of Tailoring Methods for Joints with Additively Manufactured Adherends and Adhesives

“…Some authors explored the feasibility of using additive manufacturing to tailor the bondline by controlling the adhesive composition or shape [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. The main benefits of this approach are the compatibility with non-additively manufactured adherends and the improved joint quality, as the adhesive layer is relatively free from porosities and possesses high geometrical accuracy and reproducibility.…”

“…On the other hand, while tailoring the printing parameters does not require any additional equipment or post processing, it can be a highly complex process, as the interaction between different parameters can lead to unexpected and undesirable results. Some authors explored the feasibility of using additive manufacturing to tailor the bondline by controlling the adhesive composition or shape [39][40][41][42][43]. The main benefits of this approach are the compatibility with non-additively manufactured adherends and the improved joint quality, as the adhesive layer is relatively free from porosities and possesses high geometrical accuracy and reproducibility.…”

“…Sekiguchi et al [ 43 ] applied a strategy that combines the adhesive deposition process proposed by Redmann et al [ 39 ] and the work of Kuman et al [ 24 ] for adhesive modulus tailoring along the bondline ( Figure 9 ). These techniques were applied to manufacture SLJs that were later tested under static and low-cycle loading.…”
