Numerical Analysis on the Butt-Joint under Izod Impact Test

Abstract:

The effect of the adhesive thickness on the impact toughness of the adhesively bonded steel butt joint during Izod impact test and the failure procedure is studied using the finite element method software ABAQUS. The results obtained show that the time with the peak stress Seqv occurred is corresponding to the element failure. And much higher peak stress might be subjected by the element near the bottom of the joint under impact load. The failure time of the element becomes little longer when the adhesive layer thickness increased from 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm. But the peak value of the Seqv decreases and the damage limit of the strain increased evidently as the adhesive thickness increased from 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm.
