The paper analyzes the problem of torsion in an adhesive non-tubular bonded single-lap joint. The joint considered consists of two thin rectangular section beams bonded together along a side surface. Assuming the materials involved to be governed by linear elastic laws, equilibrium and compatibility equations were used to arrive at an integro-differential relation whose solution makes it possible to determine torsional moment section by section in the bonded joint between the two beams. This is then used to determine the predominant stress and strain field at the beam-adhesive interface (stress field along the direction perpendicular to the interface plane, equivalent to the applied torsional moment and the corresponding strain field) and the joint's elastic strain (absolute and relative rotations of the bonded beam cross sections). All the relations presented were obtained in closed form. Results obtained theoretically are compared with those given by a three dimensional finite element numerical model. Theoretical and numerical analysis agree satisfactorily.

Since stainless steel sheets have good mechanical properties, weldability, appearance and corrosion resistance, they are commonly used as one of the structural materials of the railroad cars or the commercial vehicles which are manufactured by the spat welding. Among the many kinds of spot welded lap joints, it can be found that multi-lap joints are employed in their body structure. But, fatigue strength of these joints is lower than that of base metal due to high stress concentration at the nugget edge of spot weld and is considerably influenced by welding conditions as well as the mechanical and geometrical factors. Thus, it is necessary to establish a reasonable and systematic design criterion for the long life design of the spot-welded body structures. In this paper, the stress distribution and deformation around the spot-welded multi-lap joints subjected to tensile shear load was numerically analyzed. Also, the $\Delta$P-Nf curve was obtained by fatigue tests. Using these results, $\Delta$P-Nf curves were rearranged in to the ${\Delta}{\sigma}$-Nf relation with the maximum stress at nugget edge of spot weld.

Fatigue life prediction of a multi-row countersunk riveted lap joint was performed numerically. The stress and strain conditions in a highly stressed substructure of the joint were analysed using a global/local finite element (FE) model coupling approach. After validation of the FE models using experimental strain measurements, the stress/strain condition in the local three-dimensional (3D) FE model was simulated under a fatigue loading condition. This local model involved multiple load cases with nonlinearity in material properties, geometric deformation, and contact boundary conditions. The resulting stresses and strains were used in the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) strain life equation to assess the fatigue "initiation life", defined as the life to a 0.5 mm deep crack. Effects of the rivet-hole clearance and rivet head deformation on the predicted fatigue life were identified, and good agreement in the fatigue life was obtained between the experimental and the numerical results. Further crack growth from a 0.5 mm crack to the first linkup of two adjacent cracks was evaluated using the NRC in-house tool, CanGROW. Good correlation in the fatigue life was also obtained between the experimental result and the crack growth analysis. The study shows that the selected methodology is promising for assessing the fatigue life for the lap joint, which is expected to improve research efficiency by reducing test quantity and cost.

This paper describes the prediction of eigenfrequencies due to changes in stiffness and mass in the connection area of the lap joint beam in terms of linear and torsional stiffness as well as connection length. The sensitivities of mass and stiffness in the finite element model were derived by using the first-order differential and algebraic equation and were thereafter applied to obtain new natural frequencies that were compared with theoretical exact solutions. Newly predicted natural frequencies due to only a change in stiffness were in relatively good agreement with those in lower modes for rigid joints, while further investigation was needed for flexible joints. On the other hand, only the change in mass resulted in a large discrepancy in the flexible joint case. It may be strongly anticipated that this study will provide a useful tool for estimating modal parameters by change in any design variable, such as the structural dimension, material property, or connection type for a large-scale structure, even though the proposed methodology is currently limited to a jointed beam.

In the present work, structural joints have been modeled as a pair of translational and rotational springs and frequency equation of the overall system has been developed using sub-structure synthesis. It is shown that using first few natural frequencies of the system, one can obtain a set of over-determined system of equations involving the unknown stiffness parameters. Method of multi-linear regression is then applied to obtain the best estimate of the unknown stiffness parameters. The estimation procedure has been developed first for a two parameter joint model and then for a three parameter model, in which cross coupling terms are also included. Two cases of structural connections have been considered, first with a cantilever beam with support flexibility and then a pair of beams connected through lap joint. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical simulation and by experimentation.

적층복합재는 면내 방향의 물성은 우수하지만 두께 방향의 물성이 취약하여 굽힘, 비틀림하중이 가해질 때 층간 분리(Delamination) 현상이 쉽게 나타난다. 층간 분리 현상을 지연하는 복합재의 두께 방향 물성 보강법으로는 Z-pinning, Stitching, Tufting 등이 있으며, 대표적으로 Z-pinning과 Stitching 공법을 많이 사용한다. Z-pinning 공법은 prepreg의 두께 방향으로 금속 핀이나 카본 핀을 적용하여 보강하는 공법이고, Stitching 공법은 프리폼에 상부 및 하부 섬유를 교차시켜 두께방향으로 기계적 강도를 향상시키는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 Z-pinning과 Stitching 공법의 단점을 보완 및 개선한 I-fiber stitching 공법을 제안하였으며, 본 공법이 적용된 복합재 Single-lap joint의 정적 강도를 평가하였다. Single-lap joint 시편은 오토클레이브 진공백 공정을 사용하여 동시경화법으로 제작하였다. 복합재 시편 두께는 고정하였으며, Stitching 패턴(5×5, 7×7)과 삽입 각도(0°, 45°)를 변화시켜가며 총 5 종류의 시편을 제작하였다. 시험 결과, I-fiber stitching 공법을 적용한 시편의 파손하중은 보강하지 않은 시편의 파손하중 대비 최대 143% 증가하였다.

복합재 체결부는 뛰어난 물성과 가벼운 구조의 수요로 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 두께 방향의 취약한 물성으로 인해 체결부 파손이 쉽게 발생한다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 체결부 끝단의 집중되는 응력을 완화시켜주는 Z-피닝, 스티칭 등 다양한 공법들이 적용되고 있다. Z-피닝 공법은 프리프레그의 두께 방향으로 금속 핀이나 카본 핀을 적용하여 보강하는 공법이고, 스티칭 공법은 프리폼에 상부 및 하부 섬유를 교차시켜 두께방향으로 기계적 강도를 향상시키는 방법이다. I-fiber 스티칭 공법은 Z-pinning 공법과 Stitching 공법을 보완한 유망한 공법이다. 본 논문에서는 I-fiber 스티칭 공법으로 보강된 Single-lap joint 시편을 오토클레이브 진공백 성형법으로 제작하여, 모재의 두께와 스티칭 각도에 따른 인장강도 및 피로강도 특성을 평가하여, I-fiber 보강 복합재 체결부 구조물의 보강효과를 검증하였다. 실험결과, 복합재 체결부의 두께가 얇을수록 I-fiber 보강효과가 더 높게 나타났으며 I-fiber로 보강된 복합재 체결부는 파손강도에서 약 52%, 피로강도에서 약 118% 우수한 특성을 나타냄을 확인하였다.
