Abstract
Epoxy resins exhibit viscoelastic behaviour over the ultrasonic range of frequencies for acoustic waves. This paper examines the acoustic properties of a two-component room-temperature air-curing epoxy adhesive bond, and how these properties change as the adhesive hardens. Such an analysis yields information concerning the interface shear stiffness and cohesive nature changes during cure. In this experiment, the adhesive is used to bond two aluminium plates together. Typically, this type of experiment employs a contact transducer, which itself needs to be glued or otherwise fixed to the outer surface of one adherent. The transducer used here, however, was an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT), which was designed to generate radially polarised shear waves without physical contact to the sample.
