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 theiradvantages such as the formation of uniform stress distributions, the ability to join dissimilar materials, highfatigue resistance and impermeability. In this work, the use of texture manufacturing technology (Geometricshapes) to the assembly areas of Aluminum / Aluminum plates is explored. In order to improve the shearstrength values of the single joint adhesive layer, it is necessary to model structural reinforcements at theinterface of the bonded assembly. Through the Abaqus software; models will be developed to simulate the stressdistribution along the region of interaction between the plates and the single joint adhesive layer. by aneconomic choice. The analysis of the dimensions of the lap length and the thickness of the adhesives are themain parameters to be modified to optimize the geometry of the assembly, because an increase in the resistanceof the joint is accompanied.
