Abstract

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.
