ABSTRACT A comprehensive literature review on the existing analytical models based on
different material and geometry behaviors for both single and double-lap joints (as well as …

Improved theoretical solutions for adhesively bonded single-and double-lap joints are
proposed. The classical theories of Volkersen/de Bruyne's solution for double-lap joints …

A review of the mechanics of lap-shear joints is followed by a detailed analysis of the
problem using a cohesive-zone approach. The cohesive-zone model allows not only the …

Metal, paper and wood bonding industries require huge quantity of synthetic adhesives. The
economic, environmental and health aspects for many of these adhesive formulations are a …

Three-dimensional and two-dimensional Digital Image Correlation (DIC) have been used to
evaluate the evolution of deformation and strain in composite single lap bonded joints prior …

This paper presents an approach to predicting the failure and strength of joints bonded with
a film-type adhesive (FM 73) using non-linear finite element method. First, lap-shear tests on …

The adhesive bonding of composite materials can be applied to assemble light-weight
structures for aeronautical applications. However, the application of adhesive bonds in …

In the present paper, mechanical behaviours of adhesively bonded joints are studied with
the help of double lap shear (DLS) coupon tests conducted at different extension rates and …

The problem of a single-lap bonded joint with laminated polymeric composite adherents and
with a spew fillet, subjected to tensile loading, is investigated. Experimental and numerical …

Adhesively bonded balanced single-lap joints have been studied using finite element
analysis and verified either experimentally or theoretically. In the finite element method, a …
