Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the environmental adhesion surface on the bond strength of the ring-sectioned transmission steel bars on the butt. Male and female molds were produced in order to make the joints of the shafts. With two different adhesives (DP 410, DP 490), four different overlap distances (10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm) and two different overlap angles (30o, 90o) rods are combined with the adhesive. Mechanical behavior of peripheral bonding surface of which is adhered with an overlap butt sample was assayed according to the determined parameters. Tensile and torsion experiments of ring cross-section rods combined with adhesive were performed. The graphs of the experimental data obtained were prepared and compared. DP 410 affixed with adhesive ring sectioned rod showed the better performance of the rods, prepared by the DP 490 adhesive.
