%0 Journal Article %T Finite Element Analysis of an Adhesively Bonded Single Lap Joint %A Hafiz TA %A Khaliq A %J International Journal of Engineering Innovations and Research %D 2013 %I IJEIR %X Finite element analysis (FEA) is applied to analyse a single lap adhesively bonded metallic joint. Three different parameters namely adhesive thickness, adherend thickness and crack length are selected and their effect on x-component of displacement and stress, vector sum displacement, Von Mises stress and crack opening displacement is studied. Results for each entity are discussed and hence presented. Different behaviour of x-component, vector sum and crack opening displacement for adhesive and adherend are noted. Finally overall conclusion is made. %K parametric study %K FEA %K Adhesively Bonded Metallic Joint %U http://journals.indexcopernicus.com/fulltxt.php?ICID=1050583
