About this book

This book deals with the most recent numerical modeling of adhesive joints. Advances in damage mechanics and extended finite element method are described in the context of the Finite Element method with examples of application. The book also introduces the classical continuum mechanics and fracture mechanics approach and discusses the boundary element method and the finite difference method with indication of the cases they are most adapted to. At the moment there a no numerical technique that can solve any problem and the analyst needs to be aware of the limitations involved in each case.

Advances in Numerical Modelling of Adhesive Joints
Abstract
The analysis of adhesively bonded joints started in 1938 with the closed-form model of Volkersen. The equilibrium equation of a single lap joint led to a simple governing differential equation with a simple algebraic equation. However, if there is yielding of the adhesive and/or the adherends and substantial peeling is present, a more complex model is necessary. The more complete is an analysis, the more complicated it becomes and the more difficult it is to obtain a simple and effective solution. The finite element (FE) method, the boundary element (BE) method and the finite difference (FD) method are the three major numerical methods for solving differential equations in science and engineering. These methods have also been applied to adhesive joints, especially the FE method. This book deals with the most recent numerical modelling of adhesive joints. Advances in damage mechanics and extended finite element method are described in the context of the FE method with examples of application. The classical continuum mechanics and fracture mechanics approach are also introduced. The BE method and the FD method are also discussed with indication of the cases they are most adapted to. There is not at the moment a numerical technique that can solve any problem and the analyst needs to be aware of the limitations involved in each case.
