ABSTRACT
The usual shape of plugs at gluing zone is circular section, but at present there is attempts to use plugs with square and hexagonal section, too. These solutions assure possibility to introduce more adhesive, thus increase the strength of joints. With an original holographic stand the authors makes some detailed researches for establishing the optima shape of the plug section. Thus, was established the condition for a maximal angular stiffness of the joints: d+(1.2) mm > D.
