Deformation Analysis Of Adhesively Bonded Single Lap Joints At Variable Load

Abstract

The increasing demand for lightweight structures and the growing utilization of lightweight materials across various industrial sectors have resulted in the widespread adoption of adhesive bonding. Recent research has focused on conducting finite element analysis to investigate the static loading analysis of adhesively bonded joints. Adhesive bonding is a method of joining materials where an adhesive solidifies between the surfaces of the adherents, resulting in an adhesive bond. Adhesively bonded joints are increasingly used as alternatives to mechanical joints in various engineering applications and offer numerous advantages over traditional
mechanical fasteners.
