The performance of veneer joints is known to affect the quality of laminated veneer lumber (LVL), so experimental research and simulation analysis of the tensile properties of lap joints were performed and reported in this paper. The lap length, specimen thickness, and specimen width were selected as the experimental factors. The maximum tensile load increased with the increase of each factor; ...

BACKGROUND Classic bone lengthening requires patients wear external fixation for the distraction and consolidation phases and there is fracture risk after frame removal. Our technique of lengthening with the Taylor Spatial Frame(TM) and then insertion of a locked plate allows earlier removal of the external fixator during consolidation. Plate insertion is accomplished through a clean pin-free z...

Single-lap shear (SLS) joints are straightforward to manufacture. This makes them especially attractive for testing polymer composite welded joints. Owing local heating, which is characteristic of welding processes, the production more geometrically intricate (such as double-lap or scarfed joints) bigger end-notched flexure double cantilever beam) typically entails significant complexity in des...

Many previous studies have mainly focused on the effects of riveting parameters single-row riveted lap joints. Little attention has been paid to multi-row The outer rows a normal joint usually bear larger part tensile load. However, none relate phenomenon squeezing displacement combination joint. To improve performance three-row joint, this paper aims reveal internal relation between load distr...

Due to their low cost and ease of use, adhesives are frequently used in the industry. Selecting adherents is essential when thinking about a construction that uses them. A fatigue study therefore required determine best adhesives. In this situation, prediction model must be incorporated into process. study, Single-lap joint (SLJ) was chosen. Specimens with uncoated, primed, cataphoresis-treated...

This study investigates the strain and stress states in an aluminum single lap joint bonded with a functionally graded Al2O3 micro particle reinforced adhesive layer subjected to uniform temperature field. Navier equations of elasticity theory were designated by considering spatial derivatives Lamé constants coefficient thermal expansion for local material composition. The set partial different...

Nowadays, adhesive joints are largely applied in the automotive, aircraft and aerospace, civil, naval industries. Although several applications involve flat (plane) adherends, curved play an important role many engineering like civil construction. This work aims to investigate three structural adhesives, ranging from brittle ductile, joggle-lap between carbon fibre reinforced polymer adherends ...
