Numerical Analysis of the Mechanical Behavior on the Effect of the Geometric Interface of the Aluminum/Aluminum Plate Assembly

Abstract

Adhesive joints are therefore often favored in the aerospace and automotive industries due to their advantages such as the formation of uniform stress distributions, the ability to join dissimilar materials, high fatigue resistance and impermeability. In this work, the use of texture manufacturing technology (Geometric shapes) to the assembly areas of Aluminum / Aluminum plates is explored. In order to improve the shear strength values of the single joint adhesive layer, it is necessary to model structural reinforcements at the interface of the bonded assembly. Through the Abaqus software; models will be developed to simulate the stress distribution along the region of interaction between the plates and the single joint adhesive layer. by an economic choice. The analysis of the dimensions of the lap length and the thickness of the adhesives are the main parameters to be modified to optimize the geometry of the assembly, because an increase in the resistance of the joint is accompanied.
