Adhesively Bonded Joint

The aim of this work is to investigate the shear stress distributions across the adhesive layer thickness in single-lap adhesively bonded joint. The shear stress distributions of a single-lap adhesively bonded joint have been investigated using the three-dimensional linear static and non-linear quasi-static finite element method. The analysis results indicate that there are significant differences between the linear static and non-linear quasi-static analyses. The results also show that the maximum value of the shear stress component S13occurs at the centre line while the maximum of the shear stress components S12and S23occur near or at the left-rear corner of the adhesive layer.

Adhesively Bonded Joint

In this study, the effect of bond thickness upon shear strength and fracture toughness of epoxy adhesively bonded joint with dissimilar adherents was addressed. The bond thickness, t between the adherents was controlled to be ranged between 0.1 mm and 1.2 mm. Finite element analyses were also executed by commercial ANSYS 11 code to investigate the stress distributions within the adhesive layer of adhesive joint. As a result, shear strength of adhesive joint reduces with increasing bond thickness. The strength of shear adhesive joint was also depended on elastic modulus of adherent. Moreover, the failure of dissimilar adherents bonded shear joint originated at a location with critical stress-y which was the interface corner of ALYH75/epoxy. In the case of shear adhesive joint with an interface crack, the fracture also occurred at the ALYH75/epoxy interface even in the steel-adhesive-aluminum (SEA) specimens. Fracture toughness, Jc of aluminum-adhesive-steel (AES) joints was similar to those of SES and demonstrates strong dependency upon bond thickness. Furthermore, the interface crack in SEA specimen has relatively large fracture resistance if compared to those in AES specimen. Finally, Kc fracture criterion was found to be appropriate for shear adhesive joints associated with adhesive fracture.

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.

This paper investigates normal stress distribution of a single-lap adhesively bonded joint under tension using the three-dimensional finite element methods. Five layers of solid elements were used across the adhesive layer thickness in order to obtain an accurate indication of the variation of normal stress. All the numerical results obtained from the finite element analysis show that the spatial distribution of normal stress are similar for different interfaces though the stress values are obviously different. It can also be seen from the results that the left hand region, which is very close to the left free end of the adhesive layer, is subjected to very high stress and the magnitude of the normal stress oscillates in value close to the left end of the adhesive layer.

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.

AbstractIn this paper, effects of the defect in an adhesively bonded joint have been investigated using cohesive zone modeling. Consequently, a 3D finite element model of a single lap-joint is constructed and validated with experiments. Strength prediction of current model is found desirable. Accordingly, different sizes of square shape defects are imported to model in the form of changing (raised or degraded) material properties (heterogeneity) and locally delaminated areas (as inclusion/void), respectively. Joint strength is investigated and a stress analysis is carried out for adhesive layer and adherends. Obtained Results show that, defect has significant impact on the results. It is found that at constant size of defect, local delamination has more impact on bonded joint strength than the heterogeneity. Furthermore, stress analyses demonstrate that the stress field does not change in adherends by taking defects into account. However, stress values decrease with degraded material properties and joint’s strength. Through evaluation of peel and transverse shear stresses in adhesive layer it is found that there is a change of stress distribution for both types of defects. Whereas, there is a considerable stress concentration in the delaminated adhesive layer.

Delamination Behavior

Damage modeling approach is increasingly used to simulate fracture and debonding processes in adhesively bonded joint. In order to understand the relation between the delamination behavior of different types of adhesives and the type of cohesive zone models (CZMs), the pure tension and pure shear experiments were conducted used two distinct adhesives, an epoxy-based adhesive in a brittle manner and VHBTM tape adhesive in a ductile manner. The traction-separation relations of the two adhesives were extracted from the tension and shear experimental results. Three types of cohesive zone models (CZMs) are adopted, including the exponential, bilinear, and trapezoidal models. VUMAT subroutine of CZMs as the adhesive layer is used to simulate the specimen tension and shear debonding procedures. The results demonstrate that (i) the bilinear CZM more suitably describes the brittle adhesive and the exponential CZM suitably describes the ductile adhesive to simulate the tension and shear failure. (ii) cohesive strength and work of separation are the significant affections on the simulation results. and (iii) the shape of CZM is a significant affections on the simulation the pure tension and shear debonding procedure.

This paper deals with the effects of mechanical behavior of adhesives on the shear stress distributions of single-lap adhesive joints under tension using the three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) technique. Numerical examples are provided to show the influence on the shear stresses of the joints using adhesives of different characteristics which encompass the entire spectrum of viscoelastic behavior. FEA solutions of the shear 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 shear stress distributions of the joints.

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.
