In this paper an adhesively bonded lap joint is analyzed by assuming that the adherends are elastic and the adhesive is linearly viscoelastic. After formulating the general problem a specific example for two identical adherends bonded through a three parameter viscoelastic solid adhesive is considered. The standard Laplace transform technique is used to solve the problem. The stress distribution in the adhesive layer is calculated for three different external loads namely, membrane loading, bending, and transverse shear loading. The results indicate that the peak value of the normal stress in the adhesive is not only consistently higher than the corresponding shear stress but also decays slower.

Single Lap Joints

The stress distribution of adhesively-bonded single lap joints under tensile shear loading is analyzed using 2-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element method (FEM). Special attentions have been put on the influence of void in adhesive on the stress distribution of adhesively-bonded joints. The results show that the stress concentration of the void is less than that of the end part of the joints when adhesive layer’s deformation was in the range of elastic. Moreover, the influence of the void on the stress distribution becomes less when the void moving from the end-part to the middle. The stress concentration becomes larger and the stress distribution of adhesive’s mid-thickness region becomes flatter when adhesive layer has biggish plastic deformation. Finite element results show an agreement with the theoretical results.

Adhesively Bonded Joints

The use of adhesive to joint structural elements, despite many advantages of this technology, is not a method commonly used in engineering practice, especially in construction. This is mainly due to the poor recognition of the behavior, both in terms of testing and analysis, of joints made on a scale similar to the actual elements of building structures. Therefore, this paper presents the results of model tests and then numerical analyses of adhesively bonded joints made of high-strength steel elements in a full-scale (double-lap joint). In order to properly model the adhesive connection, material tests of the methacrylate adhesive were performed in the field of tensile, shear (in two versions: single lap joint test and thick adherent shear test) and bond properties. Comparison of the results of the model and numerical tests showed very good agreement in terms of the measurable values, which makes it possible to consider the results obtained in the adhesive layer as reliable (not directly measurable in model tests). In particular, the distribution of stresses inside the adhesive layer, the range of plastic zones and areas of loss of adhesion are presented and discussed. The results indicate the possibility of a reliable representation of the behavior of adhesively bonded joints of high-strength steel, thus providing a tool for the analysis of semirigid adhesive in large-size joints.

Bonded Joint

This paper describes some finite element combinations to analyse the mechanical behaviour of bonded joints. In finite element models five layers of solid elements were used across the adhesive layer in order to increase the accuracy of the results. The finite elements were refined gradually in steps from adherends to adhesive layer. In these models, most of the adherends and adhesive were modeled using solid brick elements but some solid triangular prism elements were used for a smooth transition. Comparisons are performed between different types of first-order element combinations in order to find a suitable model to predict the mechanical behaviour of adhesively bonded joints.

The influence of fillets with different geometry shape on the stress distribution in aluminum alloy weld-bonded single lap joint was investigated using elasto-plastic finite element method (FEM). The results show that it is advantageous of reducing stress concentration in adhesive layer near the ends of the lap zone in single lap weld-bonded aluminum joints and part of the stress transferring from adhesive layer to the nugget when the joints with a couple of right triangle fillets over other shapes. The load-bearing capacity of the whole weld-bonded joints may be improved. The full-triangular fillet is recommended that it be more advantageous of decreasing the stress peak value and making the stress distribution in overlap zone more uniform.

The use of adhesively bonded joints in place of traditional joining techniques such as bolted or rivet joints is becoming greatly popular in recent years. Interfacial stress in the adhesive is critical to the strength of adhesively bonded joints. It is necessary to predict the interfacial stresses accurately to ensure the safety of joints. In this work, an analytical model is explicitly presented to evaluate the stresses in a double lap joint. The equilibrium equations in the adhesive overlap region are derived on the basis of elasticity theory. The governing equations are presented in terms of shear and peel stresses in the adhesive. Analytical solutions are derived for the shear and peel stresses, which are considered to be the main reason for the failure of the double lap joint. To verify the analytical solutions, the finite element method is conducted using the commercial package ANSYS. Results from the analytical solution agree well with finite element results and numerical investigations available in the literature. The effect of the adhesive thickness, shear modulus, adherend Young’s modulus and bonding length on the shear and peel stresses in the adhesive of the double lap joint are studied. Numerical results demonstrate that both the maximum shear and peel stress occur at both ends of the bonding region. The maximum values of the shear and peel stresses increase as the adhesive thickness decreases and as the adhesive shear modulus increases provided that the adhesive thickness is sufficiently small. The simplicity and capability to obtain analytical expressions of the shear and peel stresses for double lap adhesive bonded joints makes the proposed analytical model applicable for the stress analysis and preliminary structural design.

In this paper, stress distribution in a double lap joint subjected to a tensile load is investigated using the boundary element method. The adhesive used in this study is a commercial epoxy system which can be cured at room temperature. The adhesive is assumed to be linearly viscoelastic. The order of the singularity is obtained numerically for a given viscoelastic model. The numerical results show that interface stresses are large enough to initiate local yielding or edge cracks. Since the exceedingly large stresses cannot be borne by the adhesive layer, edge cracks can occur at the interface corner.

The Impact

The effect of the temperature and immersed time of the alkali solution on the impact toughness of the adhesively bonded steel single lap joint under impact loading is studied using the experimental method. The results obtained show that the impact toughness of the specimen increased when the immersed time increased then it decreased as it beyond 3 days. When the immersed time is longer than 72 h, the higher the temperature is, the lower the impact toughness of the joint. The moisture absorption of the adhesive layer with the immersed time was also investigated and it was found that there is a relationship to the impact toughness of the adhesively bonded single lap joint. The epoxy adhesive layer was analyzed with FT-IR and it was found that the hydroxyl enhanced and bonding strength may increase after 72 h immersed in alkali solution.

Scarf Joints

An estimation method of fatigue strength of adhesively bonded joints with various stress triaxialities in the adhesive layer has been proposed based on a damage evolution model for high cycle fatigue. To realize various triaxial stress states, fatigue test was conducted for adhesively bonded butt and scarf joints with various scarf angles bonded by a rubber-modified epoxy adhesive. An equation for estimating the damage evolution in the adhesive layer of the butt and scarf joints was derived from the damage model, where undefined parameters in the equation were determined by comparing the experimentally obtained damage evolution curves of the butt joints with the estimated damage evolution curves. Furthermore, an equation for the estimation of fatigue strength was derived under the assumption that fatigue failure occurs when the damage variable reaches to a critical value. When compared the experimental S-N data of scarf joints with the estimated ones, the estimated fatigue strengths agree well with the experimental data with various scarf angles. This finding suggests that the CDM model is applicable for estimating fatigue strength of adhesively bonded joints with different stress triaxialities.
