Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics- (CFRP-) steel single lap joints with regard to tensile loading with two levels of adhesives and four levels of overlap lengths were experimentally analyzed and numerically simulated. Both joint strength and failure mechanism were found to be highly dependent on adhesive type and overlap length. Joints with 7779 structural adhesive were more ductile and produced about 2-3 kN higher failure load than MA830 structural adhesive. Failure load with the two adhesives increased about 147 N and 176 N, respectively, with increasing 1 mm of the overlap length. Cohesion failure was observed in both types of adhesive joints. As the overlap length increased, interface failure appeared solely on the edge of the overlap in 7779 adhesive joints. Finite element analysis (FEA) results revealed that peel and shear stress distributions were nonuniform, which were less severe as overlap length increased. Severe stress concentration was observed on the overlap edge, and shear failure of the adhesive was the main reason for the adhesive failure.

The present study concerns with the finite element investigation of balanced aluminium single lap joints subjected to tensile loading. Epoxy adhesives were used for bonding having different nanoparticles rate in the epoxy resin (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and to 2 wt. %, respectively). Two-dimensional (2D) finite element analysis has been employed to determine the peeling stress, von Mises stress, and the shear strain distribution across the midplane of the joints. The results mainly prove that the nanoparticles rate in the adhesive material directly affects the joint tensile strength. Nanocomposite adhesives present a higher failure load than that of neat adhesives. Furthermore, nanocomposite adhesive with 0.5 wt. % of nanoparticles generated strengths (shear and peeling strengths) more than neat adhesives, after which decreased by further addition of the nanoparticles.

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.

The low quality of adhesion performance on polymeric surfaces has forced the development of specific pretreatments able to toughen the interface between substrate and adhesive. Among these methods, atmospheric pressure plasma treatment (APPT) appears particularly suitable for its environmental compatibility and its effectiveness in altering the chemical state of the surface. In this work, an experimental study on adhesively bonded joints realized using polyamide as substrates and polyurethane as the structural adhesive was carried out with the intent to characterize their fatigue behavior, which represents a key issue of such joints during their working life. The single lap joint (SLJ) geometry was chosen and several surface pretreatments were compared with each other: degreasing, abrasion (alone and followed by APPT) and finally APPT. The results show that the abrasion combined with APPT presents the most promising behavior, which appears consistent with the higher percentage of life spent for crack propagation found by means of DIC on this class of joints with respect to the others. APPT alone confers a good fatigue resistance with respect to the simple abrasion, especially at a low number of cycles to failure.

Abstract This study was carried out in two stages. In the first step, a numerical study was performed to verify the previous experimental study. In accordance with the previous experimental study data, single lap joints models were created using the ANSYS finite element analysis program. Then, nonlinear stress and failure analyses were performed by applying the failure loads obtained in the experimental study. The maximum stress theory was used to find finite element failure loads of the single lap joints models. As a result of the finite element analysis, an approximate 80 % agreement was found between experimental and numerical results. In the second step of the study, in order to increase the bond strength, different overlap end geometry models were produced and peel and shear stresses in the adhesive layer were compared according to the reference model. As a result of the analyses, significant strength increases were calculated according to the reference model. The strength increase in model 3 and model 5 was found to be 80 % and 67 %, respectively, relative to the reference model.

This study presents the testing results of methacrylic adhesive single-lap joints made from elements with different stiffness and of the adhesive itself, using cast specimens. Methods for the preparation and testing of material specimens of the adhesive joints have been presented. Moreover, an attempt was undertaken to determine the strength criterion and find out which of the presented calculation methods enables the most precise assessment of strength in the tested group of single-lap joints, that differ in terms of the adhered stiffness and thickness. For this purpose, C45 steel and 5754 aluminium flat bars were bonded. Stress distributions were determined for failure forces obtained in the experiment by means of three basic analytic and numerical methods. Stress and strain states were compared, indicating the highest consistency for the value of normal peel stresses acting in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the joint tension. Reduced stresses provided by the analyses reached values higher than those which were achieved during the specimen tension testing.

Reinforced concrete dapped-end beams (RC-DEBs) are mainly used for precast element construction. RC-DEBs generally are recessed at their end parts and supported by columns, cantilevers, inverted T-beams, or corbels. The geometric discontinuity of dapped-end beams evokes a severe stress concentration at reentrant corners that may lead to shear failure. Therefore, stress analysis is required at the reentrant vicinity for design requirement of these beams. Four large-scale RC-DEBs specimens were prepared, cast, and tested up to failure. Three parameters were investigated: amount of nib reinforcements, main flexural reinforcements, and concrete type at the dapped-end area. Finite element analysis using Vec2 was also conducted to predict the behavior of RC-DEBs. It has been found that highest stresses concentration factors occur at the reentrant corners and its vicinity. By using engineered cementitious composite (ECC) in the dapped-end area, the failure load has increased by 51.9%, while the increment in the failure load was 62.2% and 46.7% as the amount of nib reinforcement and main flexural reinforcement increased, respectively. In addition, Vec2 analysis has been found to provide better accuracy for predicting the failure load of RC-DEBs compared to other analysis approaches.

The adhesive-bond of paster single lap joints was put forward firstly. The strength of 5052Al-Al adhesive-bond of single lap joints (SLJ) and 5052Al-Al paster adhesive-bond of SLJ were investigated using finite element method (FEM). Results from the simulation showed that the paster adhesive-bond of SLJ was stronger than the adhesive-bond of SJL. So it can use the paster adhesive joints to improve the strength of adhesive joints.
