Impact Tests (e. g. Impact Wedge Test to Evaluate Crash Performance)

In some cases adhesive joints are required to maintain the structural integrity of bonded parts even under high dynamic loading conditions, for example in a car body during a crash situation. ISO 11343 [4] describes a procedure for the ‘Determination of dynamic resistance to cleavage of high strength adhesive bonds under impact conditions — Wedge impact method’, while ISO 9653 relates to a ‘Test method for shear impact strength of adhesive bonds’. According to the standard, ISO 9653 determines the average cleavage resistance, expressed as force or energy, of a structurally bonded metal joint. The cleavage corresponds to the separation of the adherents by a wedge, moving at high speed, the displacement of which is initiated by the impact of, for example, a pendulum hammer (Figure 7.15).

In practice, tests with application-specific parts and geometries are necessary to assess the impact resistance of a bonded structure. Since, for example, automotive crash tests are cost-intensive significant effort has been applied to seek ways in which to simulate and predict crash performance by using numerical tools such as finite element simulation.
