Test report on the strength of adhesive bonds

ASTM D903_Standard Test Method for Peel or Stripping Strength of Adhesive Bonds

Abstract/Summary

This section will include the following (and maybe some other stuff I missed?)

• Highlight of results

• What test we are doing (tensile, compression anvil pendulum etc.)

• Some more specific information we missed, for example, we used our own equipment, we didn’t have the correct equipment so we had to choose something else, something that may have messed up our test results? (feel free to add other things you believe are important to note)

• Lack of test specimens for the standard quantity that standards require?

• Link to ASTM Standard summary?

Introduction

This test isn’t for composites, rather for adhesives. It involves pulling on an adhesive by means of a peel test, this will obtain the peel and stripping values. We want to ensure that the adhesives we use are up to our standards and can withstand what they will be used for.

Materials

Equipment required

• Desiccators/conditioning room

Procedures

*insert picture of impact tester or adhesive peeling tester*

Test Specimen Prep

Possibly explain the curing of our adhesives/conditioning? (I feel like that will be important)

Raw Data

 *adhesive name*

Processed Data

Preliminary calculations

This table below may be redundant? idk if there will be anything but in here

Graphs

Discussion

Here, we can just explain what went/think went wrong and how we could’ve maybe avoided it if anybody wants to read this for future reference?

Conclusion

• Here, we can include our final remarks and what we learned while going through this test

• Validity of results

• Conclusions

• Implications

• Some Highlight of Results (quantitative statements)

• Trends

• More stuff that I can’t think of?
