Abstract

Wooden glued constructions require touch-free monitoring of destructive processes, especially in adhesive bonds that are most exposed to failure. The objective of the investigations was to describe failure processes in the adhesive bond of wood joints, in particular to determine their initiation, propagation, and destruction. The acoustic emission (AE) method was employed as the carrier of information about changes occurring in glued joints, whereas the numerical method was applied to determine values of distribution of tangential stresses generated in adhesive bonds. The acoustic phenomena examined were described using the AE cumulative counts. The authors analysed acoustic signals generated in loaded wooden and plastic overlap samples glued together using polyethyl methacrylate glue as well as in solid samples. On the basis of the acoustic emissions obtained, it was possible to establish characteristic places and stages of escalating structural defects generated from bonds of adhesive joints. This was utilised later on, in conjunction with results of numerical calculations, to determine correlations occurring between the AE cumulative counts and generated tangential stresses. Dependencies established in this way were used to determine characteristic points during the propagation of destructive phenomena of wood adhesive joints. The results obtained proved that it was possible to predict the development of the destruction of wood adhesive joints on the basis of observations of the increasing AE cumulative counts of acoustic signals in combination with tangential stresses determined using the finite elements method.
