RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Müller, Miroslav T1 Research on Constructional Shape of Bond at Connecting Galvanized Sheet of Metal JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2015 VO 15 IS 3 SP 392 OP 396 DO 10.21062/ujep/x.2015/a/1213-2489/MT/15/3/392 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-201503-0024.php AB A constructional shape of an adhesive bond deals with a mutual position of bonded parts in such way to gain a given contact area. The constructional shape of the adhesive bond finds a practical application at connecting of plain areas that means sheets of metal above all. The adhesive bond strength at connecting the galvanized sheet of metal was significantly lower than at connecting a constructional carbon steel. Results of specimens of wavy-lap bonds showed higher values of the adhesive bond strength comparing with specimens of single-lap bonds. The wavy-lap constructional adjustment proved to be positive at connecting the galvanized sheet of metal. The increase of the adhesive bond strength ranged in the interval 27 to 560 %. The difference in using specimens A (single-lap bond) and B (wavy-lap bond) is obvious from the statistical comparison. It is visible from performed experiment that using the specimen B (wavy-lap bond) led to increasing of strength values of the adhesive bond.
