Stress and fracture analysis of bonded double lap joint (DLJ) specimens have been

investigated in this paper. Numerical and analytical methods have been used to

obtain shear- and peel-stress distributions in the DLJ. The generalized...

for interfacial stresses produced in an adhesively bonded single-lap joint under thermal loadings. These analytical investigations particularly emphasize on the localized thermal effects near the edges of bonding region. The effects of change of temperature...

Riveting process is one of the most important methods to keep fastening the lap joints in aircraft fuselages. Fatigue failure of aircraft lap joints directly depends on the stress inteensity factors. Besides that, the multi site damage problem...

The main objective of this paper is to establish the relationship between effective free vibration parameters of an adhesive functionally graded single lap joints and their design variables. This is done by deriving mathematical models which...

In this paper, fatigue life and crack initiation of aluminum-GFRP bonded lap joints are investigated under fourpoint bending loading. For this purpose, a new fixture was designed and constructed. Fatigue loads vs. number of cycles to failure (L...

In this paper, free vibration characteristics of an adhesive functionally graded single lap joint are modeled and an optimal design procedure for such structures has been proposed. To establish the relationship between the design variables...

In this paper, within the displacement field of the full layerwise theory (FLWT), an analytical method is developed for stress analysis of symmetric adhesively bonded homogeneous and heterogeneous double-lap joints (DLJs). The joints with fixed...
