Abstract

In structural engineering, the design and sizing of adhesively bonded joints for vehicles have always been significantly important. To determine the behavior of joint in vehicle-scale models requires fine meshes, but these fine meshes are impractical; however, a mesh is necessary for comparisons and for making a quick assessment of various geometric models of joints. The analytical approach is often helpful in sizing but coupling these models with full-vehicle finite element (FE) models is complicated. Therefore, in this study, a reduced-order joint FE model is developed that can be used in structural FE models for quick assessments of bonded joints. FE model is employed for the analysis of a lap joint stresses using standard, 2D plane stress element. Furthermore, a parametric study was performed with adhesive dimensions.
