Recently, automobile industry has led to increasing use of aluminum alloy for weight reduction. Automobile made of aluminum alloy can be given lighter, stronger and a harder surface by anodizing than one made of steel-alloy. In this paper, we investigate the influence of lap length, adherend thickness and adhesive thickness on adhesive strength of single-lap adhesive joints by conducting tensile-shear tests. Single-lap adhesive joints of aluminum was calculated using joint factor by using adhesive length, adherend thickness of specimen.

Purpose: In this paper adhesive-bonded cylindrical lap joints are analyzed by assuming that the adherends are elastic and the adhesive is linearly viscoelastic. Method: The distribution of the stresses in the adhensive is evaluated using the Finite Element Method. Nuverical examples for identical and different adherends bonded through a four parameter viscoelastic solid adhesive are illustrated. Results: The stress distribution in the adhesive layer with respect to time is shown. The stress distribution in the adhesive layer with respect to time is shown. The results are also shown that adherend thickness and elastic modulus give effect on the normalized stress. Conclusion: In this study, the stress distribution of the adhesive layer of the wrapped cylindrical body considering the viscoelasticity of the adhesive layer was numerically analyzed by using a four - element elastomer model.

In general residual stress is measured by X-ray diffraction method but in case of bonding residual thermal stress it is inadequate technique to examine the stress singularity. Therefore Two-dimensional elastic boundary element analyses were carried out to investigate the residual thermal stress and stress singularity of bonding interface in Al/Epoxy. This boundary element results were compared with the strain gauge measurements. The effects of different interface models, sub-element and adherend thickness are presented and discussed. On the basis of the obtained results, interface delamination causing by normal stress is expected and stress singularity is observed more intensively increasing with adherend thickness. It is concluded that the bonding strength of Al/Epoxy interface can be estimated correctly by taking into account the stress singularity at the edge of the interface.
