I. INTRODUCTION

N adhesive bonded joint is a structure composed of two adhérends joined by an adhesive. Adams and Wake [1]

define the adhesive as "a polymer material which, when applied to surfaces, can join together and resist separation" and adherents as members of a structure which are joined together by an adhesive. Dans les structures collées, les efforts sont transmis d'un substrat à un autre à travers les couches d'adhésifs dans la surface de recouvrement, c'est-à-dire que l'adhésif joue le rôle de moyen de transfert des efforts. La différence majeure entre les structures assemblées par collage et celles assemblées par fixation mécanique est la surface de contact. Qui dans le cas du collage est beaucoup plus large que dans le cas des fixations mécaniques. Les concentrations des contraintes sont donc minimisées et leur distribution devient plus uniforme dans la région de recouvrement.

Configurations of a single lap joint have been studied for about more than sixty years and many analytical and numerical models have been developed. Volkerson [2] proposed a first approach to analyze this type of structure. He considered only shear strain in the adhesive and axial deformations in adhérends. Demarkles [3] improved the model including shear deformation of adhérends. These analyzes do not include the bending moment produced by the eccentric path of the load. The effect of the bending moment resulting in efforts normal to the plane of the adhesive, called efforts coats, which are important at the edges of the joint.

These moments were calculated taking into account the geometry, material properties and the applied load The rapid development of computers makes use of the most attractive and practicable digital techniques. Numerical methods can be used to analyze models with any geometry and loading conditions. They are best suited to the analysis of structures made of different materials.

Numerical methods can be applied to solve the equations that represent the structural behavior.

elements. Adams and Peppiatt [8] used a two-dimensional finite element model. They found that a layer of adhesive with effusion causes stress concentrations lower than adhesive layer with a square edge, Harris and Adams [9] have developed a method of nonlinear finite element and included the response elastoplastic components and adhere the adhesive. The quadrilateral plane stress elements were used for this analysis. They performed this analysis to a single standard covering assembly and a single lap joint with nets at the edges of the joint. Breaking conditions were considered using the Von Mises criterion for adhérends and adhesive. The main objective of this chapter is to analyze by the finite element method the effect of the geometry of the joint edge of adhesive and adherend on reducing peel stresses, von mises, as well as shear stresses in the adhesive layer, several forms have been proposed. For each model we studied the stress distribution in the adhesive according to different bevel angles of the plate and the bead of adhesive.

plate can reduce the bending moment for that we proposed to modify the geometry of the free edge of the plate while varying the bevel angle by considering a è angle which has the value è = 30 °, è = 40 °, è = 60 °.

Fig.5 Introduction of the first geometric model [beveling]. We can see clearly from The modeling of geometrical

model (Figure 5), a fine mesh is introduced at the edge of the plate in order to obtain accurate results because in this location the stresses are high.

Figure 6 shows the variation of the von Mises equivalent stress according to a length (figure 6a) and the width of overlap (figure 6b) for different angles of beveling of the aluminum plate at the interface adhesive / adherend.

The Von Mises stress distribution is identical regardless of the different bevel angle.

Along the length of recovery, the smaller stresses values are noted for a bevel angle for è = 40 ° for this angle also..

Along the width of the adhesive joint, the increase in the angle of folding clearly reduce Von Mises stresses both in the middle and the edge of the adhesive.

Fig. 6 Equivalent Stress distribution along the length and the width of overlap.

The peeling stress is shown in Figure 7. One notices that the symmetry of the stress distribution is presented. the peeling Stresses decrease with increasing of the bevel angle of the plate, this is due to the reduction of the thickness at the edge so a minimal of bending moment.

Fig. 7 peeling stress distribution along the length and the width of

overlap

Figure 8 shows the variation of the shear stresses according

to the length and width of the adhesive joint. one notices according to the length of recovery the increase

in bevel angle actually reduce the value of the shear stress and the distribution is not symmetric. Along the width, the increase of the angle of beveling clearly reduces the values of shear stress.

Fig. 8 Distribution of the shear stresses according to the length and the width of overlap

B. Influence of the bead of adhesive

The influence of adhesive bead has been widely studied by Adams and Peppiatt [12]. The authors showed that it reduced the overstress peak at the edge of the joint, because of the existence of significant tensile stresses, and it is a privileged place of initiation of rupture. Experimentally, the correlation with the numerical studies were conducted by Tsai and Morton [13]. Where they represented through the moiré fringes of the adhesive strain fields, through which they noticed that although the changes, the strains variation are less abrupt when a bead of adhesive is present.

Belingardi et al [14] have recommended to make sure that the bead of adhesive covers the entire side of the adherend. The study adopts an assumed a right bead of adhesive, and the optimal determined angle is 45 degrees.

In the work of Lang and Mallick [15], the authors are interested in all possible forms of adhesive bead. The elliptical shape is determined as optimal and it is noted that the presence of the adhesive bead decreases more the peeling stresses that the shear stresses.

Figure 9 shows the mesh of the assembly, it clearly notes the modification edge of the adhesive with different angles of the bead. A fine mesh was introduced to the free edge in order to obtain accurate results.

Fig.10 distribution of a) Von Mises, b) peeling and shear stresses along the length of recovery

It is noteworthy in Figure 10a that the equivalent stresses

are very sensitive to the angle bead parameter, more the angle increases more stress decreases.

Also the bead of adhesive reduces considerably the Von Mises stresses. Furthermore, the increase in the angle of the bead of adhesive leads to a decrease stress in free and non-free edge of the adhesive joint. The stress absorption by plastic deformation of the adhesive takes place with the increase of the angle of the bead of the adhesive giving rise to a considerable elongation.

The figure 10b and c represents the peeling and shear

stresses distribution according to the length of the adhesive for different angles of the bead of adhesive. The bead of the adhesive reduces the peeling and shear stress along the joint. At the free edge of the adhesive, the influence of the angle of the bead is not important in reducing the peeling stress however there is a considerable reduction in shear stress.

At the non-free edge, the modification of the bead of adhesive leads to a significant reduction of the two stresses.

Fig.11 representation free edge and no free of the adhesive

It is important to know the stress levels along the width of recovery, but it limited only to the edge of recovery. the increasing of the angle è of the bead of adhesive minimizes bonding area, there are two points for measuring the stresses: the free edge of the plate along the width and the no free edge (figure 11).

along the width of recovery. The distribution of the peeling and shear stresses (figure 12

b and c) is identical with a different values, a minimum at the edge and a maximum in the middle of the adhesive layer, the increasing of the angle of the bead of adhesive have reduced stresses at the edge and in the middle of the adhesive according to its length and its width.

C. Influence of internal beveling the plate with the adhesive bead

Beveling at the ends of the adherents may seem attractive, because a decrease in the thickness at this level reduces the bending moment around the joint thus leading to a decrease of peeling overstress.

Indeed, Hart Smith [16] and Adams [17] shows that a bead of adhesive around the joint improves further the mechanical strength of the assembly that the beveling of the supports, but the combination of an inner bevel with a bead leads to a maximum strength of the assembly.

Fig. 13 Representation of free and non-free edges for a model with internal beveling plate and the adhesive bead.

The figure 13 shows the mesh of the assembly in the presence of a bead of adhesive and the beveling of the substrate.

A fine mesh was introduced to the two edges of the plate and adhesive to have accurate results. The two geometric changes of the edge of the plate and the adhesive at the same time have presented a significant effect at the cover edge, the variation of the angle of the beveling automatically leads a variation of the angle of the bead of the adhesive. The figure 14a shows the distribution of equivalent stresses at the interface adhesive / adherend along the length of recovery, it should be noted that the internal beveling of the plate gives more bonding surface and when the angle of internal beveling decreases the angle of adhesive bead increases which gives minimum equivalent stresses at the edge of the adhesive. For this combination of a bevel plate and an adhesive bead, it is better to take a è = 30 ° angle to the bead of adhesive and è = 60 ° angle of beveling of the plate because this combination provides Von mises stresses lower than the other angles in this study.

The same remarks are noted for peeling and shear stress distribution. The value of the stresses is reduced in the presence of an adhesive bead and the beveling plate, and more the angle of the bead increases the peeling stresses decrease.

These geometric changes take effect only for reducing the peeling stresses which remain low in comparison with those of

equivalent stresses and shear (Figure 14b).The same effects are noted for the shear stresses (Figure 14c), where the increase in the angle of the bead increases the value of shear stress. However, the shear stresses are high values at the sensitive point denoted (A) in Figure 14c, where one notices overstress shear peaks. you are using Word, use either the Microsoft Equation Editor or the MathType add-on (http://www.mathtype.com) for equations in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New | Microsoft Equation or MathType Equation). “Float over text” should not be selected.

Figure 15a shows the distribution of equivalent stresses along the width of recovery at the no-free edges, we can clearly see that the stresses increase with the increase of the bead angle but remain as even lower than those found in the case of an single lap joint without modification. and the same remarks are noted for the peeling stresses and shear stresses

IV. CONCLUSION

After evaluation of the stress fields at the level of all different geometric adhesive and the cover plates at the ends, and in order to achieve our objective to reduce the stress concentration at these responsive areas to creation of cracks, we combined the effect of the different geometries in Table II-5 to allow comparison of these effects.

Table II-5 summarizes the gain reduction of the various stresses under the effect of the various changes made to the free edge of the adherents and the adhesive. All these modifications give rise to a more or less considerable reduction of the stresses. The value of these stresses varies with the type of modification. The best shape is one that consists of internal beveling plate with an bead of adhesive
