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.

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.

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.

Abstract A computational intensive study was performed to assess an efficient way to model adhesively bonded glass fiber reinforced composite joints in automotive applications. Three different finite element modeling techniques had been implemented. First, adhesive was represented by 1D-spring elements. Spring stiffness was calculated from adhesive property. This model is inadequate to assess stresses developed in the adhesive layer directly. So adhesive was modeled with 2D elements for better assessment of state of stress in the adhesive and the substrate. Both the model provide limit load, but crack initiation and failure of the bond can not be captured. The third approach adopted was the nodal failure model. In the nodal failure model, to understand the failure of adhesively bonded joints, bond strength had been specified to the interface nodes of the composite substrate. Combined failure criteria had been used. Cracks propagated and interface debonded when interface stress exceeded the failure limit. Finite element model results compared well with the experimental data. This modeling approach was later adopted for dynamic modeling of adhesively bonded joints, which shows promise.

Stress Components

This paper deals with the stress distribution in adhesively bonded joints with rubbery adhesives. The 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) software was used to model the joint and predict the stress distribution along the whole joint. The FEA results indicated that there are stress discontinuities existing in the stress distribution within the adhesive layer and adherends at the lower interface and the upper interface of the boded section for most of the stress components. The FEA results also show that the stress field in the whole joint is dominated by the normal stresses components S11, S33 and the shear stress component S13. The features and variations of these critical stresses components are discussed.

Peel Stress

A method based on the successive boundary stress correction approach is presented for the determination of the stress concentration in substrates of adhesively bonded joints with square edges or spew fillets at the ends of the overlap. The emphasis is given to developing an estimate of the stress elevation at the end of a bonded joint while the issue of corner singularity at the substrate-adhesive interface is not addressed in detail. It is shown that the adhesive shear stress which acts on the substrates is the main cause of the stress concentration; the adhesive peel stress has little effect. To circumvent the deficiencies of existing bonded joint theories which generally predict a maximum adhesive shear stress at the ends of the adhesive layer, an eigenfunction solution has been derived for the shear stress distribution near the ends of the overlap. Based on the improved adhesive shear stress solution presented here, the stress concentration determined from the present theory is found to be in good agreement with finite element results.

Creep Loading

Experiments on single lap joints bonded with viscoelastic adhesives reveal that the effects of rate and time and inherent flaws are as critical in joint failure as are the environmental and stress concentration effects. Experimental data reveal that random inherent flaws and loading rate changes may result in as much as 40 percent reduction in joint strength. Furthermore when creep loading is used, the asymptotic creep stress, below which no delayed failure will occur, may have to be as much as 45 percent less than the adhesive maximum strength.

The purpose of this paper is to study some of the factors that affect the shear strength of Single Lap Joints (SLJ). Based in work conditions for different applications, tests were made in order to define the influence of geometry and temperature on the strength of SLJ under shear load. The adhesive used to make the joints was the epoxy adhesive ARC858 and it was tested under temperatures ranging between 21°C and 70°C and overlap length of 12.5mm and 18.75mm. Results of those tests showed that shear strength increased due to geometry with an overlap of 18.75mm and a great shear strength loss ranging from 30°C to 50°C. The failure mechanism was adhesive failure.

This work presents a comprehensive experimental study on the effect of surface roughness and adhesive curing temperature on adhesively bonded joints of AA6082. The modification of surface morphology has been assessed by roughness measurements (contact and non-contact profilometry). In addition, mechanical changes in the resin properties due to different curing time have been probed through a series of instrumented indentation tests. Thus, adhesive bonded single lap joints were fabricated and tested to assess the changes in shear strength at varying surface roughness and curing conditions. The obtained results indicate the ability of the roughened surface to improve the joint strength together with the adequate combination of curing temperature and time among those suggested by the manufacturer.

Abstract A good understanding of the process of adhesion from the mechanics viewpoint and the predictive capability for structural failures associated with adhesively bonded joints require a realistic modeling (both constitutive and kinematic) of the constituent materials. The present investigation deals with the development of an Updated Lagrangian formulation and the associated finite element analysis of adhesively bonded joints. The formulation accounts for the geometric nonlinearity of the adherends and the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of the adhesive. Sample numerical problems are presented to show the stress and strain distributions in bonded joints.
