Effect of Parameters on Strength of Composites Single-Lap Adhesive Joints

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on popular and maturate application of the finite element analysis method, a numerical study is presented for effect of parameters, that are composed of lap length, adhesive thickness and ply styles of adherend, on maximum peel/shear stress of T700/EXOPY composite single-lap adhesive joints in this paper. Finite element simulations are carried out to analyze the peel/shear stress fields along the interfaces between the adhesive and the adherends. The simulation results show that the joint maximum peel/shear stress decreases with increasing the lap length, and peel stress of the joint of adherends of ply style [0/90/±45/0]S is much less, and the maximum shear stress in the interfaces between the adhesive layer and the adherends do not dcreases all the times with increasing the adhesive thickness. Good agreements between the present simulations and the experimental results are found.
