QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS FOR A STRUCTURAL BONDED JOINT

摘要

Method for monitoring the quality of an adhesively bonded join between tw o sub-components of a structure, which comprises the following steps: a) pro viding the composite-material structure that it is desired to monitor; b) pr oviding at least one prefabricated test device (1) that is representative of one of the sub-components of the structure; c) adhesively bonding said at l east one prefabricated test device (1) to the other sub-component (7) of the structure in conditions similar to those of the actual adhesively bonded jo in of said sub-components; and d) performing at least one mechanical test on said at least one prefabricated test device (1), which makes it possible to assess the quality of said adhesively bonded join.
