Numerical simulations of adhesive spreading during bonding-induced squeeze

Abstract

The current work is intended to give an overview of issues related to the numerical simulation of adhesive spreading for liquid to semi-liquid adhesives. The advantages and limitations are presented in order to guide the choice of the suitable approach depending on the case under consideration. It is shown that methods are of two categories, whether they are grid-based or meshless. In the first, the movement of the matter is directly dependent on the mesh size and distribution. Contrariwise, in the meshfree methods, the particles are free to move and each carries its properties. Besides, cases of application are presented to provide a database for calculating adhesive spreading with the particulate SPH method. It is shown that it is possible to use simple behaviour laws to win this case.

Numerical explorations of solvent borne adhesives: a lattice-based approach to morphology formation

“…Consequently, neither fluid dynamics effects nor macroscopic mechanical responses of the film can be explored within our framework. To this end, conceptually different approaches need to be taken; we refer the reader to [SEP+21] (adhesive materials and friction), [RKZ+23] (dynamical adhesive contact in visco-elastic materials) and [EBS+20] (conservation of historical heritage) for remotely related situations where linear momentum information is handled computationally without aiming to capture insights in the dynamics of the phase separation.…”

How to Find the Perfect Application Pattern for Adhesively Bonded Joints?

“…The simulation of adhesive flow during pressing has been studied by various research groups. An overview published in (Aparecida Silva et al, 2022) discusses the main methods available for simulating adhesive flow. The methods are divided into mesh dependant and mesh independent, with the former subdivided into finite difference, finite volume and finite element methods.…”
