Dynamic compressive creep behaviour of structural silicone-to-aluminum and silicone-based sealant-to-aluminum joints

Durability assessment of structural sealant glazing systems applying a performance test method

“…A recent study focussed on the dynamic compressive creep behaviour of an aluminium-to-aluminium structural silicone bond. [17] The authors evaluated the maximum stress transmitted and the energy absorbed by the bond for the applied dynamic compressive load cycles to strains of 60-80 %. Referred to their initial value, both parameters decrease similarly with the number of load cycles.…”
