Analysis of Adhesive‐Bonded Cylindrical Lap Joints Subjected to Axial Load
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 119, Issue 3
Abstract
In the currect paper, we consider the stress distribution in adhesive‐bonded cylindrical lap joints for which the two adherends, subjected to axial loads, may have arbitrary thicknesses and consist of different materials and the adhesive layer may be flexible or inflexible. Because of the difficulties in the analysis, no theoretical studies of the present problem are available in the literature. The current paper intends to seek approximate solutions by means of the principle of minimum complementary energy. All boundary stress conditions and conditions of continuity of stresses across the dividing surfaces of adhesive and adherends are strictly satisfied. Since high‐stress intensities occur in the end zones of the joint, the stress‐free end conditions of the joint need to be satisfied. By means of the present approach, closed‐form solutions are obtained. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effects of various parameters on the distributions and intensities of stresses in the joint.
