Actually i was wanting to know the maths for how to do calculations for such a problemberkeman said:Is that not in the datasheet for the tape?
BTW, be sure to check the operating temperature range of the 2-sided tape. I recently almost made a giant error using standard 3M 2-sided sticky tape for an electronics application. The standard tape is only good for something like 10C to 50C. I did finally find some wide temperature range 2-sided tape (3M VHB)...
I'm not sure there is a simple mathematical approach. The yield strength of the adhesive varies so much from formulation-to-formulation... Is there anything on the datasheet about the bonding strength? I can go check the datasheet for the VHB tape I'm using now...Shady99 said:Actually i was wanting to know the maths for how to do calculations for such a problem
Say the tensile strength of my tape is 40 kpa...how to know if the block will stick onto or fall?berkeman said:See the section on "Typical Performance Characteristics" mid-way down the datasheet:

The bonding strength of an adhesive tape refers to the force required to break the bond between the tape and the surface it is attached to. It is typically measured in units of pounds per inch (lb/in) or Newtons per meter (N/m).
The bonding strength of an adhesive tape is calculated by dividing the force required to break the bond by the width of the tape. This gives the bonding strength per unit width, such as lb/in or N/m.
The bonding strength of an adhesive tape can be affected by various factors including the type of adhesive used, the surface properties of the materials being bonded, the application method, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.
The bonding strength of an adhesive tape can be improved by selecting an adhesive that is appropriate for the specific materials and conditions, ensuring proper surface preparation, and applying the tape with adequate pressure and time for the adhesive to fully bond with the surface.
Yes, the bonding strength of an adhesive tape can be tested in real-world conditions by conducting peel or shear tests on the tape applied to the intended surface. This can also help determine the longevity and durability of the bond under various conditions.
