A parametric study of insertion and retention forces in cantilever hook

Adhesive bonding, mechanical fastening, and snap-fit are all ways for attaching plastic components together. Snap-fit is employed to assemble parts because it an efficient, cost-effective, fast joining technique. When comes snap-fits, you have two options: separable inseparable. The term refers the ability of be dismantled successfully without breaking, whereas inseparable being permanently attached. This investigation focuses on cantilever since frequently used in automotive, aerospace, other sectors. Numerous aspects parameters affect functioning notably forces insertion retention. feature thickness (Tb), beam length (Lb), width (Wb), base radius (Rb), mounting (α) dismounting angle (β). required attach detach snap-fits thought increase as retention angles increase. results can seen that higher contributes portrayed from Set 7 with value 1.1052 N -1.0214 N.
