STRESS IN BONDED ADHERENTS FOR SINGLE LAP JOINTS

A finite-element technique is used to predict the shear stress and normal stress distribution in adherents for polycarbonate/polycarbonate single lap joints subjected to axial loads. Numerical and photoelastic results are compared so that a validation of the numerical model is obtained. The influences on stresses of the overlap length and the shape of the adherents are studied.
