Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Adhesively Bonded Curved Lap Joints under Three-Point Bending

摘要

In this study, the curved type joint model, which is an alternative to conventional joint models, was developed and subjected to three-point bending moment by increasing the radius of curvature of the joint. The radius of curvature of the curved lap joint under three-point bending moment was increased, and its effects on strength were investigated. Furthermore, a three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis of the joint model was performed using the generalized Drucker-Prager yield criterion. Verification tests were performed to verify the numerical solutions obtained by the non-linear finite element method.
