Abstract
Adhesive failure of a sandwich beam made of steel and PTFE is studied under thermal and vibration environment. Superposed stresses model is presented in order to predict the effect of the combination environment. Then, the stress distributions are evaluated by an experimental method. Results show that the proposed model is effective for the study of thermal stress. The stress on the steel beam in the initial crack region is slightly low under thermal environment. Vibration excitation generates cyclic loading on the beam and stress distribution exhibits sensitivity to location and loading frequency. It is observed that the high-stress peak will be provided in combined environment. The fatigue crack growth is monitored, and it is shown that the adhesive failure is strongly temperature-dependent with invariable dynamic excitation. High temperature leads to both the high value of stress intensity and an increase in fatigue. Moreover, stick-slip behavior is observed at the interface of adhesive and base plate.
