The stress variation in butt adhesive joints of hollow cylinders subjected to impact bending moments was analyzed in elasto-plastic deformation ranges using finite element method. The impact bending moments were applied to the loading side adherend of the joint by dropping a weight. The name of FEM code employed was DYNA3D. The effects of Young’s modulus of the adhesive and the effect of the adhesive thickness on the stress variations at the interfaces were examined. In addition, the characteristics of joints subjected to the impact bending moments were compared with those of the joints under static bending moments, and the strength of the joints under impact bending moments was estimated by using the interface stress distributions. As the results, it was found that (1) the maximum value of the maximum principal stress σ1 occurred at the outside edges of the fixed side adhesive interface under the impact bending moments; (2) The maximum value of maximum principal stress σ1 increased as Young’s modulus of the adhesive increased when the joints were subjected to impact bending moments; (3) The maximum value of σ1 increased as the adhesive thickness decreased; (4) the characteristics of joints subjected to the impact bending moments were opposed to those subjected to the static bending moments. In addition, experiments were carried out to measure the strain response of butt adhesive joints subjected to impact bending moments using strain gauges, and the joint strengths were also measured. The measured strain response was compared with the numerical results. A fairly good agreement was found between the numerical and the measured results concerning the strain responses.

Abstract The stress wave propagation and the stress distribution in stepped-lap adhesive joints of similar adherends subjected to impact tensile loads and elastic deformation are analyzed using three-dimensional finite-element method (FEM). The impact load is applied to the joint by dropping a weight. One end of the upper adherend is fixed, and the other end of the lower adherend is subjected to an impact load. FEM code employed is DYNA3D. The effects of Young’s modulus of the adherends, the number of lapped steps, and the adhesive thickness on the stress wave propagation at the lapped, and fee butted interfaces are examined. It is also found that the maximum value of the maximum principal stress σ1 occurs at the end of the butted interface between the adhesive and the lower adherend to which the impact load is applied. As the number of the lapped steps increases, the maximum value of the maximum principal stress σ1 increases. It is found that the maximum value of the maximum principal stress σ1 increases as the adhesive thickness decreases. The maximum value of σ1 increases as Young’s modulus of the adherends increases. In addition, the experiments were carried out to measure the strain response of stepped-lap adhesive joints subjected to impact tensile loads using strain gauges. A fairly good agreement is seen between the analytical, and the experimental results.

The stress variations in butt adhesive joints of dissimilar hollow cylinders under impact tensile loadings are analyzed in elastic and elasto-plastic deformation using a finite element method. The FEM code employed is DYNA3D. The effect of Young’s modulus of the adhesive, adhesive thickness and the inside diameter of the hollow cylinders and Young’s modulus ratio between dissimilar adherends on the stress variations at the interfaces are examined. In addition, a process in rupture at the interface of the joint is analyzed. The stress distributions in the joints under static loadings are also analyzed by an FEM. The characteristics of the stress variations in the joints under impact loadings are compared with those in the joints under the static loadings. Also, the joint strenths under impact loadings are estimated. As the results, it is found that the maximum value of the maximum principal stress σl occurs at the outside of the interface. It is also found that the maximum principal stress σl at the interface decreases as the inside diameter of the hollow cylinders increases. The characteristics of the joints subjected to the impact loadings are found to be opposite to those subjected to the static loadings. In addition, the experiments were carried out to measure the strain response of the butt adhesive joints under impact tensile loads using strain gauges. Furthermore, the joint strengths under impact loadings were measured. Fairly good agreements are observed between the numerical and the measured results.

The stress variations and stress distributions in stepped-lap adhesive joints of similar adherends under impact tensile loadings were analyzed in elastic range using three-dimensional finite element method (DYNA3D). The impact loadings were applied to the lower adherend by dropping a weight. The stress distributions in stepped-lap adhesive joints of similar adherends under static tensile loadings were also analyzed using FEM (MARC). The effects of Young’s modulus of the adherends, the adhesive thickness, and a number of steps in the adherends on the stress variations and the stress distributions at the interfaces between the adherends and the adhesive were examined under both impact and static loadings. As the results, it was found that (1) the maximum value of the maximum principal stress σ1 occured at the outside edge of the butted interface between the adhesive and the lower adherend to which impact loadings were applied; (2) The maximum value of stress σ1 increased as Young’s modulus of the adherends increased; (3) The maximum value of stress σ1 increased as the adhesive thickness decreased, and it increased at the butted parts of joints as the adhesive thickness decreased. The maximum value of stress σ1 increased at the lapped parts of joints as the adhesive thickness increased; (4) The maximum value of stress σ1 increased as the numbers of steps in the adherends increased. The characteristic of the joints under static loadings were also clarified. In addition, the experiments to measure the strain response of joints subjected to impact tensile loadings were carried out using strain gauges. A fairly good agreement was found between the numerical and the measured results concerning the strain responses.

The stress distributions in scarf adhesive joints of dissimilar adherends under static bending moments are analyzed using three-dimensional finite-element calculations. The code employed is ANSYS. In FEM calculations, the effects of Young’s modulus of the adhesive, adhesive thickness, scarf angle of the adherend on the stress distributions at the adhesive interface are examined. As the results, it is found that the maximum value of the maximum principal stress occurs at the edge of the scarf adhesive interface. It is also observed that the maximum value of the stress is minimum, when the scarf angle is 60 degree. In addition, the joint strength is estimated using the obtained stress distribution. For the verification of the FEM calculations, the experiments were carried out to measure the strengths and the strains in the joints under static bending moments using strain gauges. Fairly good agreements are observed between the numerical and the measured results concerning the joint strength and the strains.

The stress wave propagation and stress distribution in scarf adhesive joints have been analyzed using three-dimensional finite element method (FEM). The FEM code employed was LS-DYNA. An impact tensile loading was applied to the joint by dropping a weight. The effect of the scarf angle, Young’s modulus of the adhesive and adhesive thickness on the stress wave propagations and stress distributions at the interfaces have been examined. As the results, it was found that the point where the maximum principal stress becomes maximum changes between 52 degree and 60 degree under impact tensile loadings. The maximum value of the maximum principal stress increases as scarf angle decreases, Young’s modulus of the adhesive increases and adhesive thickness increases. In addition, Experiments to measure the strains and joint strengths were compared with the calculated results. The calculated results were in fairly good agreements with the experimental results.

Scarf adhesive joints used in practice. However, the stress distributions and the joints strengths have not yet been fully elucidate. Important issues are how to determine the scarf angle in adherend and how to determine the adhesive properties. In this study, the stress distributions in scarf adhesive joints under static tensile loadings are analyzed using three-dimensional finite-element calculations. In the FEM calculations, the effects of Young's modulus of the adhesive, adhesive thickness, scarf angle of the adherend on the stress distributions at the adhesive interfaces are examined. The maximum principal stresses were calculated at every element at the interfaces. As the results, it is found that the maximum value of the maximum principal stress occurs at the edge of the adhesive interfaces (z=0, 1/s=1). It is also observed that the maximum value of the stress is the smallest, when the scarf angle is 60 degree. In addition, the joint strength is estimated using the interface stress. For the verification of the FEM calculations, the experiments were carried out to measure the strengths and the strains in the joints under static tensile loadings using strain gauges. Fairly good agreements are observed between the numerical and the measured results concerning the joint strength and the strains.
