abstract

the use of structural adhesives in automotive structures has been increased recently for their role in noise, vibration and harshness (nvh). therefore, the dynamic behavior of structures containing bonded joints has become an area with numerous investigations over the past decades. development of accurate formulations capable of representing adhesively bonded joint dynamics is a step forward in constructing the numerical models for one of the most useful kinds of joints in industry. analysis of the adhesive layer between the two parts requires special assumptions which leads to using nonlinear and three dimensional models. obtaining shape functions for an adhesive element by using finite element (f.e.) theory is a complicated and difficult task to do. the complexity is increased when it is assumed that the adhesive element is compatible with the plate element. in this paper, a new finite element formulation is developed for the adhesive layer which does not rely on shape functions and is compatible with the plate element. the accuracy of the proposed element is evaluated by using numerical and experimental results.

Finite element analysis (FEA) modeling on adhesive joint for composite fuselage model

In this paper, a finite element modeling via ABAQUS/Explicit simulation on a novel fabrication miniature composite fuselage structure is presented. The fuselage structure is modeled as a continuum composite layup that consisted of a woven C-glass fiber/epoxy 200 g/m 2 composite laminated [908] with the orthotropic elastic material properties and adhesively bonded butt joint. The adhesively bond...

Modeling Adhesive Anchors in a Discrete Element Framework

In recent years, post-installed anchors are widely used to connect structural members and to fix appliances to load-bearing elements. A bonded anchor typically denotes a threaded bar placed into a borehole filled with adhesive mortar. The high complexity of the problem, owing to the multiple materials and failure mechanisms involved, requires a numerical support for the experimental investigati...

Finite element formulation for modeling nonlinear viscoelastic elastomers

Nonlinear viscoelastic response of reinforced elastomers is modeled using a three-dimensional mixed finite element method with a nonlocal pressure field. A general second-order unconditionally stable exponential integrator based on a diagonal Padé approximation is developed and the Bergström–Boyce nonlinear viscoelastic law is employed as a prototype model. An implicit finite element scheme wit...

Dynamic Finite Element Modeling of Carbon Nanotubes Using an Intrinsic Formulation

This article presents an efficient explicit dynamic formulation for modeling curved and twisted Carbon Nanotubes (CNT’s) based on a recently-developed intrinsic beam description (i.e. the dynamic state given by curvatures, strains, and velocities only) [Hodges, 2003] together with a finite element discretization incorporating atomistic potentials. This approach offers several advantages primari...

Finite Element Modeling and Analysis of Prosthetic Knee Joint

Degenerative arthritis is a disease that affects the line cartilage of the knee joint. It causes severe pain in the joint and may require a replacement surgery of the affected knee with artificial components. Geometric complexity and non linearity of the materials of the knee make the analytical solutions of the mechanical behaviour of the knee joint difficult. The knee is the most complex join...
