Project Name Adhesive Bonding
Group 2
Current Meeting October 7, 2011
Minutes Prepared By Mandy

Attendees

Mandy, Shauna, Kyle, Andy and Chad

Agenda

Paint Bake

  • Andy will find appropriate references for the paint bake cycle this weekend
    • How should we solve the reference problem?

Adhesive Bonding

  • Have found the maximum time step
  • Will find maximum preliminary alpha cured
  • Haven't talked to Goran, will make appt for next week

Precipitation Hardening

  • Finished spreadsheet
  • Have questions

Recovery

  • Had meetings with Chad. Understand the mathematical model
  • Made modifications to the model and it seems to be working better than before
  • Find v vs T
  • More sigma vs time data on the alloy at lower temperature?

Heat Transfer

  • Haven't found the optimization of delta x and delta t
    • How does Error Function work?
  • Need to ask GM about oven specifications to find h
  • Managed to find k on ASM Handbook, but no value for 6111 and 5754 wrought Al alloy.
  • Need data for heat generation from adhesive bonding
    • For now, we only make up a heat flux value
  • Tried to plot temperature profile, but need help for writing macro

New Duties

  • Shauna will be editor of report
  • Mandy will be in charge of making the slides to the presentation

Future Plans

  • Write summary of approaches and theories used for each model with proper references
  • Teach each other on their expertise so everyone is prepared for the midterm
  • Prepare presentation and midterm report

Minutes

Paint baking

  • Use Shauna's paper on paint baking information
  • Don't have to e specific- leave it as a soft constraint for now
  • If there are materials in paper that aren't clear, we can ask GM

Adhesive Bonding

  • Shauna will email Goran the thickness we should use
  • % Cured
  • Heat evolved- Give units in J/m^2/s
  • Heat transfer guys need: qdot, kepoxy, densityepoxy, cp epoxy

Precipitation Hardening

  • Assumption: it is only a function on relative function(up to peak strength)
  • dfr/dt - to get non isothermal model, volume fraction depends on variable last path

Recovery

  • Look at experimental data literature
  • Literature research on low temperature- Can we just extrapolate to lower temperature?

Heat Transfer

  • Plot Newtonian heating to model
  • Work with adhesive model
  • Small deltax
  • Small deltat

Models

  • Functioning
  • Explain limitation
  • How to work on obstables

Midterm Report

  • Need- Faster process
  • Constraint- Use aluminum material- lightweight
    • Meet requirement on CAFE
    • Find what number it is right now- where are you moving towards
  • Why Aluminum
  • Why adhesive bonding
  • Site any idea that is not yours

Problem Specification

  • Be specific
  • Strength- secondary objective (%)
  • Maximize efficiency- Objective
  • Free variable
    • Temperature
    • heat transfer- convection, radiation
    • Orientation of heating

Literature Review

  • Aluminum alloy
  • Paint bake cycle
  • Precipitates in each alloy
  • Building models- why?
    • To predict , to see feasibility

Assess and design

  • Models- Point where you are, point where you are going
  • Can use appendix
  • Leave section at the end to summarize and next steps

Last Section

  • How you have met during the week to discuss progress
  • How you communicated- Wiki, dropbox
  • Write the report in point form as a group first
