The Deformation of the Adherends in an Adhesive Joint Undergoing Water Uptake

摘要: Abstract Beam and elasticity theory have been applied to the deformation observed occur when a model adhesive joint is exposed water. The comprised of thin microscope cover slip/adhesive layer/rigid substrate sandwich. presence damped normal displacement waves in slip, predicted exist regions negligible water concentration, has confirmed by measurements on photographs interference patterns generated with an optical interferometer. A “theory assisted” fit for led improved fourth derivative, this enabled better estimate be made distribution swelling stress.
