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.

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.

The stress variations and stress distributions in stepped-lap adhesive joints of dissimilar adherends under impact tensile loadings were analyzed in elastic range using three-dimensional finite element method. The impact loadings were applied to the lower adherend by dropping a weight. The stress distributions in stepped-lap adhesive joints of dissimilar adherends under static tensile loadings were also analyzed using FEM. The effects of Young’s modulus of the adherends, the adhesive thickness and the number of butted steps of adherents ware examined under both impact and static loadings. As the results, The maximum value of stress σ1 increased as Young’s modulus of the adherends increased for the impact loadings. The maximum value of stress σ1 increased as the numbers of steps in the adherends increased for the static loadings. 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.

Abstract The stress behavior in adhesive laminated cantilever beams subjected to impact loadings is analyzed using three-dimensional finite-element method (FEM) in the elastic region. The stress wave propagation and the stress distribution at the interfaces are examined. The effects of Young’s modulus of adherends, adhesive, the adherend thickness and the number of layers on the stress wave propagation at the interfaces are clarified. The following results are obtained. The maximum principal stress (σ1) is maximal at the adhesive interfaces. It is found that the maximum principal stress (σ1) at the adhesive interface increases as the Young’s modulus of the upper adherends increases. The maximum principal stress (σ1) at the adhesive interface increases as Young’s modulus of the adhesive increases. The maximum principal stress (σ1) at the adhesive interface decreases as the thickness of the adherend to which an impact load is applied increases. It is seen that the maximum principal stress (σ1) increases as number of layers increases. Experiments were carried out to measure the strain response of adhesive laminated cantilever beam using strain gauges. A fairly good agreement is seen between the analytical and experimental results.

Stress distributions in CFRP adhesive laminated plates subjected to static and impact out-of-plane loadings are analyzed using a three-dimensional finite-element method (FEM). For establishing an optimum design method of the laminated plates, the effects of some factors are examined. As the results, it is found that the maximum value of the von Mises equivalent stress σ eqv occurs at the edge of the CFRP’s interfaces. The maximum value of interface shear stress r i at CFRP interface decreases as the reinforced Young’s modulus and the thickness increases. However, the maximum value of σ eqv at the adhesive layer decreases as the reinforced Young’s modulus and the thickness decreases. In addition, the maximum value of r i at the CFRP’s interface of lower reinforced laminates under impact loadings shows opposite characteristics to those under static loadings. For verification of the FEM calculations, experiments were carried out to measure the strains at the interfaces and the laminates plates strengths. Concerning strain and strength prediction based on von Mises equivalent stress, fairly good agreements were found between the numerical and the experimental results. The FEM results of impacted strain are in fairly good consistent with the measured results. Discussion is made on the effects of some factors on interface stress distributions.

The Impact

The stress variations and stress distributions in scarf and stepped-lap adhesive joints of similar adherends under static and impact tensile loadings were analyzed in elastic range using three-dimensional finite element method. The impact loadings were applied to the lower adherend by dropping a weight. The stress distributions in scarf adhesive joints of similar adherends under static tensile loadings were also analyzed using FEM. The effects of Young’s modulus of the adherends, the adhesive thickness, and the angle of the adherends on the stress distributions at the interfaces between the adherends and the adhesive were examined under static loadings. The maximum value of σ1 decreased as young’s modulus of the adhesive increased in the stepped-lap adhesive joints under static loadings. However, the result of the scarf adhesive joints under static loadings was opposite to the above result. The value of σ1 became minimum when the scarf angle was 52°in the scarf adhesive joint. In addition, the experiments to measure the strain response and strain of joints subjected to impact and static tensile loadings were carried out using strain gauges. Fairly good agreements ware found between the numerical and the measured results.
