This paper is devoted to the theoretical modeling of mechanical response bonded structures and particularly focuses on single-lap joint which corresponds simplest most fundamental bonding configuration. Such a geometry brings into play all features any assembly in terms (stress/strain heterogeneities, singularities, adhesion at interfaces,...). It can especially be used characterize behavior ne...

This study presents findings for the strength and failure mechanism of a 3D-printed Continuous Carbon Fibre reinforced Onyx (CCF/Onyx) Thermo-Plastic Composite Fastener (TPCF) single lap-joint (SLJ) made fibre/polymer composite by TPCF. The was carried out numerical analysis experiment methods including test sample design, manufacturing process mechanical test. fasteners were manufactured teste...

In this paper, three-dimensional modeling of the fatigue crack growth profiles was performed in a simple riveted lap joint. Simulation results showed that mode I was dominated on the one side of the plates and the crack straightly grew on this side, while the other side of the plates was in a mixed-mode condition and the crack propagation path was not straight on this side. Afterward, the fract...

In the present study, the transient stress distribution caused by a break in the fibers of an adhesive bonding is investigated. Transient stress is a dynamic response of the system to any discontinuity in the fibers from detachment time till their equilibrium state (or steady state). To derive the governing dynamic equilibrium equations shear lag model is used. Here, it is assumed that the tens...

Composite materials are widely used in the various Fields. Due to the high strength they are widely used in the low weight constructions and also used as a suitable alternative to metals. In various applications and also for joining various composite parts together, they are fastened together using adhesives or Mechanical fasteners. Modeling and static analysis of 3-D Models of joints such as b...
