Based on popular and maturate application of the finite element analysis method, a numerical study is presented for effect of parameters, that are composed of lap length, adhesive thickness and ply styles of adherend, on maximum peel/shear stress of T700/EXOPY composite single-lap adhesive joints in this paper. Finite element simulations are carried out to analyze the peel/shear stress fields along the interfaces between the adhesive and the adherends. The simulation results show that the joint maximum peel/shear stress decreases with increasing the lap length, and peel stress of the joint of adherends of ply style [0/90/±45/0]S is much less, and the maximum shear stress in the interfaces between the adhesive layer and the adherends do not dcreases all the times with increasing the adhesive thickness. Good agreements between the present simulations and the experimental results are found.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of supports on the actual stress distribution of the single-lap adhesive joints under tension using the three-dimensional finite element methods. Five layers of elements were used across the adhesive thickness in order to obtain an accurate indication of the variation of stresses. All the numerical results obtained from the finite element analysis show that the spatial distribution of all components of stress are similar for different interfaces though the stress values are obviously different. The results also show that most of the maximum stresses occur at the interface 1. It can be seen from the results that the stresses are concentrated near the left free ends of the adhesive layer while the centre region of the adhesive layer is mostly stress-free.

The influence of adhesive layer thickness on the dynamic behaviour of the single-lap adhesive joints is investigated in this paper. The ABAQUS finite element analysis (FEA) software was used to predict the frequency response functions (FRFs) of the single-lap adhesive joints of different thickness of the adhesive layer. As a reference, the FRFs of a cantilevered beam without joint were investigated as well. It is clear that the FRFs of the four beams are close to each other within the frequency range 0~1000 Hz. It is also found that the composite damping of the single-lap adhesive joint increases as the thickness of the adhesive layer increases.

This paper deals with the stress discontinuities in shear stress distribution of adhesive joints. The three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) software was used to model the joints and predict the shear stress distribution along the whole beam. The FEA results indicated that there are stress discontinuities existing in the shear stress distribution within adhesive layer and adherends at the lower interface and the upper interface of the boded section. The numerical values of the shear stress concentration at key locations of the joints and the stress concentration ratio are discussed.

First, this paper established the seal structural 2D axisymmetric model of a certain Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and calculated the deformation and stresses at ignition through a large displacement, incompressible, contact finite element analysis. The results show that the maximum contact stress appears at the contact area and the maximum shear stress at groove notch. Then, some typical parameters of the seal structure which might have the impact on the sealing performance, such as the gap breadth, initial compressibility, fillets of the groove notch and bottom, groove width, were analyzed. We can find that the gap breadth and initial compressibility do great contributions to the maximum contact normal stress, and the groove notch and bottom fillets act upon the maximum shear stress obviously. In order to verify the validity of the 2D axisymmetric model, 3D structural finite element analysis of the structure was conducted, and the results indicate that in service, the upper flange is inclined relative to the nether flange, which seems to mean that the gap breadth can not be considered as a constant during the 2D axisymmetric analysis. However further calculations say that if using the minimum gap breadth gotten in 3D analysis as its constant gap value, the above 2D axisymmetric model can rationally take the place of 3D model to analyze the sealing performance. Finally, the failure modes & criteria of the O-ring seals based on the maximum contact normal stress and shear stress were determined to ensure the reliability of this structure.

The effect of adhesives behavior on the normal stress distributions of single-lap adhesive joints is investigated using the three-dimensional finite element technique. Numerical examples are provided to show the influence on the normal stresses of the joints using adhesives of different characteristics which encompass the entire spectrum of elastic stiffness behaviour. finite element analysis solutions of the normal stress distributions in the adhesive layer have been obtained for four typical characteristics of adhesives. The results indicate that Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratios of adhesives strongly affect the normal stress distributions of the joints.

Excavator is the most multifunction heavy tool because it can handle other heavy tool such as sloping, dumptruck loading, and breaker. Usually, when doing excavation there is always possibility of breaking of pin in tooth adapter. The aim of this paper is designing bucket excavator using SOLIDWORK 2016 software and doing analysis with ANSYS R15.0 software using finite element analysis (FEA) method. This paper emphasize about the development that is done in the tip of excavator bucket teeth based on the calculation and ANSYS simulation with maximum shear stress result which is in the amount of 50,437 Mpa with maximum deformation level is being found at the part of excavator bucket head.

This paper introduces a novel approach to increasing the loading ability of adhesive joints by adding adhesively filled columns. Following procedures are taken for making adhesive joints with adhesively filled columns: At first, holes are drilled at the overlap region of adherends, and then these holes are filled with adhesive or reinforced columns (such as reinforced fiber composite, metal columns, etc.). At the same time, adhesive is also applied on the surfaces of the overlap of adherends. After cured, the reinforced columns and adhesive in the holes form so-called adhesively filled columns. In this study, strengths of single-lap adhesive joints with adhesively filled columns were measured experimentally. Stress and strain distributions at typical positions in adhesive layer were analyzed by using Finite Element Method (FEM). Failure mechanics of the joint were analyzed. It was found that to well-bonded joints, the metal columns make the joint strength increase obviously and the joint strength increases with increasing of adherend thickness. Therefore, using reinforced columns in adhesive joints is an effective approach to generalizing adhesive joints from thin-walled joints to loading sizable bulk ones.

Shear stress distribution behaviour of a single-lap bonded joint under tension was investigated using the three-dimensional finite element methods. Five layers of 20-node solid elements were used across the adhesive layer thickness to get accurate indication of the variation of shear stress. The stress distributions in the joint are given by the stress contours. All the numerical results obtained from the finite element analysis show that the spatial distribution of shear stress are similar for all 6 interfaces though the stress values are obviously different. It can also be seen from the results that the left hand region is subjected to very high stress.

A finite element analysis has been performed for a hip replacement incorporating an elastomeric surface layer. The effects of assuming the elastomer as incompressible have been examined for imposed loads, by comparing the incompressible solution to that using accurately measured values for Poisson's ratio, and while deflections were found to be significantly different, the changes in maximum pressure in the contact, maximum shear stress, contact angle and angular position to maximum shear stress were all small (less than 10 per cent). Comparisons have also been made between the finite element results for ABAQUS and an asymptotic solution, land it was found to be important to use the numerical model particularly at small values of clearance.
