Abstract

This paper is a discussion of the results of tests intended to (i) estimate the effects of component mix ratios and heat curing of an adhesive joint on the tensile strength, and (ii) to determine the adhesive component mix ratio for which heat curing is insignificant to the strength of adhesive butt joints. Experimental tests were carried out at ambient temperature and elevated temperature during which adhesive butt joints were loaded with a tensile force until failure. The variables were the mix ratio of epoxy adhesive components and the application of heat holding at the adhesive curing stage. An LSTM (long short-time memory) forecast was used to determine the point corresponding to the mix ratio of adhesive components at which heat holding of the adhesive joint no longer has a positive and significant importance to the final tensile strength of the joint.
