STRENGTH ANALYSIS OF 400 MM OVERLAPPED STEEL ADHESIVE DOUBLE LAP JOINTS REINFORCED BY RIVET
Main Article Content
Abstract
This is the age of technological revolutions. For newer mechanisms, advancement in bonding procedures is desperately needed. The most famous bonding type is Adhesive bonding. Double lap joints are considered as a good category joint in many applications. This paper explains the investigation on double lap hybrid joint. This was done for the vertical loaded MS Steel specimens. Overlapping length was kept constant and equal to 400 mm and two other factors viz. Number of rivets and adhesive composition (Resin to Hardner ratio) were varied. Finite Element analysis is done by using Ansys to see the nature of changes in the joint. Further validation by Mechanical testing is done by using Universal Testing Machine for Max. Stresses induced. Load- Stress relation obtained by Ansys results is approximately closer to experimental results.
