| Abstract | This paper represents the analysis and modeling of adhesively bonded single lap riveted joints. The present work aimed at recommending appropriate configuration and characterization of these joints for maximum utilization. The present study includes the effectiveness of bond line thickness, the bonded layer configuration, and the situation of dissimilar thickness joints. The finite-element technique was used throughout the analysis of the present work. The present work showed that riveted bonded joint (bonded at overlap area and rivet body) is superior in strengthening to the riveted joints. Riveted bonded joint seems to strengthen and balances the stresses of dissimilar thickness joints. |
