Abstract:
The present investigation deals with the static analysis of adhesively bonded inner tapered
double lap joint in laminated FRP composites subjected to transverse loading using three-dimensional
theory of elasticity based finite element method. Many researchers studied the influences of various
parameters on the failure behaviour on the composites. In those studies, the typical bonding parameters
are surface conditions, fillet, bond line thickness, and environmental conditions. In the present study the
stresses and deformation characteristics of adhesively bonded inner tapered double lap joint made of
generally and especially orthotropic laminates (FRP) subjected to transverse loading for the three
different adhesive angles, three different adhesive thicknesses with different fibre angle orientations,
i.e. the adhesive angles from 350 to 450 increased in steps of 50. The variation in stresses and deflection
are studied when the fibre angle orientation is varied from 00 to 900 in steps of 150. The adhesive
thickness varies from 0.05 to 0.15 insteps of 0.05mm. In all the above cases stresses and displacements
at various locations are evaluated for the static boundary conditions.
