Abstract

The effect of compressive loading on the ultrasonic detectability of kissing bonds in real adhesive joints has been studied. Two types of kissing bond were investigated. The first type was a dry contacting interface which represents a disbonded adhesive interface subsequently subjected to compressive loading. The second type were manufactured by contaminating the joint with a thin layer of various greases. The interaction of ultrasound with these kissing bonds has been modeled and reasonable qualitative agreement with experiment was achieved.
