Abstract
The relationship between statistical characteristics of butadiene styrene rubber (BSR) surface roughness and shear strength of adhesive joints has been investigated. The assumption of stationary normal distribution of coordinates of surface points was made to determine the statistical characteristics of surface roughness. The profile length above the selected level l 1 (u) was introduced as a new surface roughness parameter to characterize adhesive penetration depth. The validity of simulated l 1 (u) value was verified experimentally. A good correlation between experimental and calculated results was found. A relationship between adhesive penetration depth and the bonding pressure during adhesive joint preparation was also obtained. The dependences among lap shear joint strength, bonding pressure and roughness characteristic l 1 (u) were determined.
