This paper considers the stress distributions in bonded materials induced by differential expansion or contraction of these materials. The analytical approach is similar to the lap joint theories attributed to Volkersen and expanded by Goland and Reissner. Several simple and typical analytical models are presented to bring out the relative importance of dlrerent geometrical and material paramet...

Adhesive bonding is a key joining technique for aluminium alloy components in the automotive industry. Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) an emerging surface treatment protection of metal alloys including those aluminium. This work set out to assess adhesive bond strength and behaviour PEO coated AA6060-T6. Thin (15 25 μm) oxide coatings were produced on AA6060-T6 by electrolytic phosphate sil...

The strength and deformation of full-scale adhesively bonded multi-material joints is studied in this paper. Four with a thick layer methyl methacrylate adhesive (MMA) have been manufactured shipyard conditions. In two specimens, cracks introduced at steel–adhesive composite–adhesive interfaces. One cracked one un-cracked specimen were subjected to quasi-static tensile testing; the remaining sp...

Abstract The load-bearing capacities of (i) self-piercing-riveted, (ii) adhesive-bonded and (iii) hybrid riv-bonded lap joints commercial 1.5-mm-thick EN AW-6016-T4 sheets were compared under both quasi-static cyclic shear-tensile loads. heat-treated to cure the adhesive peak-age aluminum alloy. joint quality/integrity was assessed based on characteristic cross-sectional features hardness maps....
