Investigation of Defect Effects on Adhesively Bonded Joint Strength Using Cohesive Zone Modeling

In this paper, effects of the defect in an adhesively bonded joint have been investigated using cohesive zone modeling. Consequently, a 3D finite element model of a single lap-joint is constructed and validated with experiments. Strength prediction of current model is found desirable. Accordingly, d...
