The tensile shear strength of the adhesive is initially proportional to the square root of ____________ Correct Answer Thickness

The adhesive joint is generally between 1-3mm thick and tests have shown that the tensile shear strength of the adhesive is initially proportional to the square root of the thickness however the tensile shear strength reaches a maximum and then starts decreasing as the adhesive thickness is further increased and hence the thinner layers prove stronger and have greater resistance than thick ones.
