Geometrical parameters optimizations of scarf and double scarf bounded joint

摘要

The aim of this work is to optimize the geometrical parameters as the adhesive thickness and the beveled angle to reduce the edge effect of the scarf and V bounded joint A finite element analysis is done to define the generated stresses in the bounded joint. The geometrical optimum is obtained using the Experimental Design Method. Results show that the double scarf (V) joint is better than the simple scarf bounded joint
