Abstract

The load bearing capacity of adhesively bonded joints depends on many factors. The most decisive designing factors are lap length and thickness of the adhesive layer. In the experimental part of the present research these factors were analysed and their optimal values were defined. At these optimum values it is possible to reach the maximum load bearing capacity by using a minimum quantity of applied adhesive. In the numerical part of the paper, loading simulations based on the finite-elements method were carried out. The simulations were performed by using the commercial FEA code ANSYS.

Keywords
