Numerical Analysis of Multi-Layer on the Stress Distribution in Adhesively Bonded Single Lap Aluminum Joint

Abstract:

The effect of dual adhesives to form multi-layer on the stress distributed in adhesively bonded single lap aluminum joint was investigated using elasto-plastic finite element method (FEM). The results from the numerical simulation showed that the values of the peak stress along the bondline are influenced evidently when there is a multi-layer formed by a middle layer with higher elastic modulus adhesive and two layers with lower elastic modulus adhesive.
