Abstract

This work examines the properties of bonded joints used in prototype vehicles with an emphasis on factors that affect joint strength and service life. Selected materials, including EN AW 5754 aluminum plates, S235 structural steel and carbon composites, are bonded with various adhesives after surface preparation by sandblasting and cleaning. The study examines the durability of these joints and compares them to assess their durability and effectiveness in automotive applications. The practical part describes the experiment from the selection of materials, the preparation of surfaces for gluing and the selection of glue. This is followed by the implementation of the experimental part, which includes the gluing process itself and testing the resistance of the joint using a tear test. In the final section, an evaluation of the measurement results, to which a final summary was completed, is carried out.

Keywords: Adhesive joints; surface roughness; interlacing; simply lap joint; shear load
