Adhesive joints are used to join two materials by using adhesive. Light weight, uniform stress distribution is the important factors which differentiates adhesive joints from other conventional joints. Scarf adhesive joint is one of them. The strength of scarf adhesive joint depends on the parameters like scarf angle, bond length, surface roughness, adhesive thickness, type of adhesive etc. Effect of these parameters on adhesive joint strength is to be studied. For this purpose samples of scarf adhesive joints with different combinations of affecting parameters will be prepared. By varying the values of affecting parameters in certain levels, strength of joint is found out and variations in the strength to be studied. By applying design of experimentation technique optimum values of these parameters for maximum strength to be found out.
