Critical Assessment of the Bonded Single Lap Joint Exposed to Cyclic Tensile Loading
(MDPI, 2023) Demiral, Murat; Abbassi, Fethi; Zahedi, Abolfazl; Akpinar, Salih
Single shear or single lap joints are the most prevalent type of adhesive joints used in advanced engineering applications, where they are exposed to fatigue loadings in their services. Although their mechanical performances under static loading have been investigated extensively, the studies related to the fatigue performances were limited. For that purpose, single lap joints' (SLJs) reaction to fatigue tensile loading was studied by varying the adherend thickness (3 mm to 6 mm) and fatigue load (3250 N to 1500 N). ABAQUS/Standard was used to create its advanced FE model. To represent the progressive damage in the adhesive layer, the fatigue damage model via the Paris Law, which links the rate of the crack expansion to the strain energy release rate (SERR), was integrated into the cohesive zone model with bi-linear traction-separation characteristics. The model was written in a UMAT subroutine. The developed model was validated using experimental data from the literature. The crack initiation cycle (N-i), the failure cycle (N-f), the fatigue load limit, the strain energy release rate, the crack propagation rate, and variation of stress components with their dependency to design parameters were investigated in depth. It was found that the service life of the SLJs with thicker adherends was more responsive to the amount of stress applied. When exposed to lesser loads, the SLJs' life span changed more noticeably.

Service Life Modelling of Single Lap Joint Subjected to Cyclic Bending Load
(MDPI, 2023) Demiral, Murat; Abbassi, Fethi; Muhammad, Riaz; Akpinar, Salih
Bonded joints used in wing sections and frames of aircraft structures are mostly exposed to cyclic loadings instead of static ones during their services. Bending types of dynamic loadings are mostly encountered. In this study, the fatigue response of a single lap joint (SLJ) exposed to bending loading was studied with the developed advanced finite-element (FE) model. The cohesive zone model describing the behaviour of the adhesive layer used the damage mechanism, where static and fatigue damages were linked to each other; i.e., the total damage was accumulated because of material deterioration and cyclic plastic separation. This enabled us to predict the fatigue characteristics including the finite fatigue life, crack propagation rate using Paris law. The model was implemented via a user-defined UMAT subroutine offered in ABAQUS-Standard. The numerical model was validated by experiments available in the literature. The fatigue performance of an SLJ subjected to bending loading was investigated for different lap joint configurations. A smaller bending load, a thicker adherend or a longer overlap length (OL) led to enhanced fatigue life. For instance, the fatigue life was observed to increase up to 50 times for a 66% increase in OL.
