Effect of Temperature on the Thermal Stress in the Single Lap Joint

Abstract:

The effect of the thermal shock temperature on the thermal stress distributed in the adhesively bonded steel single lap steel joint under a 10 s thermal shock was investigated using elasto-plastic finite element method (FEM). The results showed that both the highest temperature at the surface and the lowest one at the mid-bondline increases as the temperature of the thermal shock raised (80 C to 140 C) and all the peak values of the stresses at the mid-bondline and the zone of negative Sx in adherend increased as the temperature of the thermal shock elevated.
