Stresses in a standard metal-to-metal adhesive-bonded lap joint are analysed by a two-dimensional finite-element method and comparisons are made with previous analyses. Particular attention is paid to the stresses at the ends of the adhesive layer. Unlike previous work, which assumes the adhesive to have a square edge, the adhesive spew is treated as a triangular fillet. The highest stresses exist at the adherend corner within the spew. Linear elastic behaviour is assumed throughout. A rubber model is reported which confirms these results physically. Good agreement was also obtained between some practical results and the finite-element predictions.

Abstract Three-dimensional finite element analyses of an elastic-plastic, single rivet-row, aluminum lap joint are presented and compared with previous results for linear elastic models. The calculations treat non-countersunk aluminum and steel rivets, 3 different configurations of countersunk rivets as well as two values of the friction coefficient. The compliance of the connection, rivet tilt, the stresses in the panels, peak plastic strains and the contact pressures and slip amplitudes at the rivet-panel and panel-panel interfaces are evaluated. The transverse, axial, and shear stress distributions and the stress concentrations generated in four different rivets are derived from the linear elastic models and related to the rivet geometry. Laboratory measurements of the lap joint compliance and local out-of-plane displacements that support the reliability of the finite element analyses are presented.

Based on chemical composition of the corrosion product, a mathematical model was developed to predict the extent of the pillowing deformation of lap joints of LY12CZ in term of thickness inside the joint. The model can offer the capability for predicting the extent of corrosion within the joint in terms of thickness loss at the internal surfaces of the skins from the amplitude of the pillowing of the outer skin. Three-dimensional finite element model of a bolted joint have been developed in the non-linear finite element code MSC.Marc and attempts were made to validate it by comparing results with the mathematical model. The results show that corrosion pillowing can significantly increase the stress in a lap joint for material loss below the detection limit of current nondestructive inspection techniques, thus increasing the risk of premature cracking. In addition, the analyses show that the locations of maximum stress of lap joint will change with the material loss increases. Simulating the effect of corrosion on lap joint only by reducing the panel thickness will result in neoconservative life estimates if corrosion pillowing is ignored.

Models of adhesive joints have been constructed in which hard rubber has been used as the adherends and relatively soft foam rubber as the adhesive. The models were scaled to represent various types of lap joint. Very good agreement was obtained when the experimental results were compared with available theory, showing that the model accurately represented the shear-stress distribution in the adhesive. Two joints are shown in which the adhesive thickness was profiled (one optimally, the other linearly) to reduce or eliminate the shear-stress concentration at the ends.

Abstract. Results of examination of experimental data on non-linear elasticity of rocks using experimentally determined pressure dependences of P- and S-wave velocities from various literature sources are presented. Overall, over 90 rock samples are considered. Interpretation of the data is performed using an effective-medium description in which cracks are considered as compliant defects with explicitly introduced shear and normal compliances without specifying a particular crack model with an a priori given ratio of the compliances. Comparison with the experimental data indicated abundance (∼ 80 %) of cracks with the normal-to-shear compliance ratios that significantly exceed the values typical of conventionally used crack models (such as penny-shaped cuts or thin ellipsoidal cracks). Correspondingly, rocks with such cracks demonstrate a strongly decreased Poisson ratio including a significant (∼ 45 %) portion of rocks exhibiting negative Poisson ratios at lower pressures, for which the concentration of not yet closed cracks is maximal. The obtained results indicate the necessity for further development of crack models to account for the revealed numerous examples of cracks with strong domination of normal compliance. Discovering such a significant number of naturally auxetic rocks is in contrast to the conventional viewpoint that occurrence of a negative Poisson ratio is an exotic fact that is mostly discussed for artificial structures.

Shear Tests

Solder alloys are commonly tested with shear tests to study their mechanical properties or low-cycle fatigue performance. In this work, the suitability of various shear tests for quantitative solder-joint testing is investigated by means of the finite element method. The stress state and stress distribution in the following well known geometries are studied: the double-lap test, the ring and plug test, the losipescu test, and two single-lap tests. A new test geometry, the grooved-lap test, is introduced and compared to the conventional tests. The results of simulations with an elastic material model in plane-strain indicate that considerable differences in the purity of the state of shear (rε = −ε1/ε3) as well as in the stress distribution in the joint exist among the shear tests. However, simulations with a nonlinear material model show that stress inhomogenities are smoothed by the plastic and creep deformation occurring in the joint. Optical measurements of the deformation of real single-lap and grooved-lap joints show that the single-lap joint rotates slightly during creep, whereas in the grooved-lap joint no rotation can be detected. This confirms the simulation results that in the single-lap test the initially nonuniform stress distribution changes during creep, and in the grooved-lap test the uniform stress distribution remains constant through the test.

Stress analysis of the butt circular shaft with three uniformly distributed metal columns subjected to external torques are carried out by using three-dimensional finite element method. The loading capability of the butt circular shaft is measured. It was found that torque acting on the cross-section of adhesive layer is simultaneously withstood by the adhesive layer and the metal columns; The ratio of the torque withstood by metal columns to that withstood by adhesive layer increases with increase of the ratio of Young’s modulus of metal columns to that of the circular shaft; The metal columns enhance and improve the reliability of the joints; The strength of the butt adhesive circular shafts increases with increase of the ratio of the yield stress of the metal columns to that of circular shafts.

Residual stress distribution in an oblique nozzle jointed to a vessel with J-groove welds was analyzed using a three-dimensional finite element method. All welding passes were considered in a 180-degree finite element (FE) model with symmetry. Temperature and stress were modeled for simultaneous bead laying. To determine residual stress distributions at the welds experimentally, a mock-up specimen was manufactured. The analytical results show good agreement with the experimental measurement data, indicating that FE modeling is valid.

This paper deals with the effects of bending and boundary condition on the stress distribution of a single-lap adhesive joint under tension using the three-dimensional finite element analysis technique. The numerical results obtained from the finite element analysis show that both the left and right hand regions of the adhesive layer are subjected to high stresses. The numerical results also show that most of the extreme stresses occur at interface which is between the adhesive and the upper adherend. It is clear that the stresses are concentrated near the left and right free ends of the adhesive layer while the centre region of the adhesive layer is mostly stress-free. It is also clear that the stress state in this case is mainly dominated by the normal stress components.
