A Review on Design and Analysis of Adhesive Bonded Joint by Finite Element Analysis

Abstract

The need to design lightweight structures and the increased use of lightweight materials in industrial fields, have led to wide use of adhesive bonding. Recent work relating to finite element analysis of adhesively bonded joints is reviewed in this paper, in terms of static loading analysis, fatigue loading analysis and dynamic characteristics of the adhesively bonded joints. In this work fabrication of joint using Ms flat plate will be done. The joint will be made by welding, riveting and adhesive bonding process. Adhesive bond will be created by using epoxy as an adhesive material. The numerical calculation will be done for the experimental analysis. Computational analysis will be comprises of stress, buckling and vibrational analysis. Result of experimental analysis will be validating with computational analysis.
