Abstract
Abstract A three-point flexure test was used to evaluate the effects of chemical surface treatments on the performance of adhesively-bonded structures of Ti6A14V. A single adherend/adhesive structure rather than a double adherend sandwich configuration is shown to be sensitive to pre-bonding adherend surface treatments. Data is presented which relates mechanical properties with chemically treated adherend surfaces. Photoelastic isochromatic fringes were recorded simultaneously with the flexure test as a means to monitor stress distribution, failure initiation, and crack propagation.
