Stress analysis and strength evaluation of single-lap band adhesive joints subjected to external bending moments

Single-lap band adhesive joints of similar adherends subjected to external bending moments are analyzed as a four-body contact problem using a two-dimensional theory of elasticity (plain strain state). In the analysis, the upper and lower adherends and the adhesives which are bonded at two regions are replaced by finite strips. In the numerical calculations, the effects of the ratio of Young's moduli of the adherends to that of the adhesives, the ratio of the adherend thickness to the adhesive thickness, and the ratio of the band length to the half lap length on the stress distributions at the interfaces are examined. A method for estimating the joint strength is proposed using the interface stress and strain obtained by the analysis. Experiments to measure strains and rupture strength were carried out. Fairly good agreement was found between the estimated and the experimental results. For verification of the analysis, a finite element analysis (FEA) was also conducted. The results show that the strength ...
