Abstract
Adhesive joining of composite materials is rapidly increasing in different engineering application areas such as aerospace, maritime and automotive, due to its potential for lightweight products. However, the use of adhesive joining for this purpose might lead to failure when a tensile load is acting on the composite. This work focus on the process parameters optimization of single lap adhesive joint Date palm fiber reinforced polyester composite (DPFRPC) to improve its joint strength. The study was conducted experimentally by making single-lap adhesive joining of DPFRPC under tensile testing. The key parameters influencing the adhesively joint's performance such as overlapping length (24, 40, and 56 mm), width (20, 28, and 36 mm), and adhesive thickness (0.5, 0.75, 1 mm) were studied using L9orthogonal array experimental design. Artificial neural network (ANN) modeling tool was utilized to relate input and output parameters. The best parameter combinations were found using a genetic algorithm (GA) optimization technique. Using this technique, the optimum parameters of single lap adhesive joint DPFRPC were, 56 mm overlapping length, 36 mm width, and 0.95 mm adhesive thickness, with a load carrying capacity of 9.48 kN.
