Static and cyclic shear behaviour analysis of the rosette-joint

摘要

In this paper, the results of shear tests and Finite Element (FE) analysis under static and cyclic loads for a completely new joint named ROSETTE-joint are presented. The test set-up is introduced and the failure modes and the test results are presented. With NISA/DISPLAY III program, the FE-model is validated by the test results and can be used to analyse the effect of the variyign sheet thickness on the shear strength of the ROSETTE-joint. In addition, a thermoelastic stress analysis enables a possibility to get a quick overview of the stress distribution in the critical areas and to find out the progression of the failure mechanisms. The results of the infra red measurements and the FE-analysis using ABAQUS program are presented.
