Fabrication of polymeric components with complex geometry has been increased in the recent years. As additive manufacturing (AM) showed its unique capabilities, it widely used production geometrically-complex parts. Although various types bonding have developed, utilizing adhesive joints is common different structures. In current study, influence 3D printing parameters and thickness on performa...

For adhesively bonded joint security and long-term use of the joint, a precise stress analysis must be performed on single-lap joints. A formed by joining two layers at given lap length, is most widely used adhesive type in practice. Nowadays, it stated that mechanical properties strength can increased adding clay graphite to polymeric material joints, trying estimate for various loading condit...

In this study; experimental failure analysis was investigated on adhesively single-lap joints produced using adhesives reinforced with uni-directional glass fibers. Epoxy adhesive impregnated fiber were used to join composite plates joints. It is aimed strengthen the joint by layers between two plates. The loads of obtained compared attached non-reinforced adhesive. Also, 0o, 15o 30o and 45o re...

The objective of the present study is to determine better eye end design of a mono leaf spring used in light motor vehicle. A conventional 65Si7 spring steel leaf spring model with standard eye, casted and riveted eye end are considered. The CAD model of the leaf springs is prepared in CATIA and analyzed using ANSYS. The standard eye, casted and riveted eye leaf springs are subjected to similar...

The shear resistance of bio-inspired suture joints with different waviness is explored through an integrated experimental and numerical approach. Polymeric single lap specimens are designed fabricated via multi-material additive manufacturing. Quasi-static mechanical experiments performed to quantify the effective stiffness strength joints. SEM images show that 3D printed fail under combined ad...
