A Unified Analysis of Adhesive-Bonded Cylindrical Coupler Joints
In the past years, many studies have been conducted on behaviors of adhesive tubular joints subjected to various loading conditions, such as torsion, axial, and internal and external pressure. However, the previous models are conceptually distinct, since they were developed to analyze only for each type of load. Mostly, homogeneous isotropic or orthotropic material were considered and thin-walled joint structures were examined. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to present for the first time a generalized mathematical formulation and modeling of adhesive-bonded cylindrical coupler joints taking into account all loading scenarios. The inner and outer adherends can be made of isotropic, orthotropic, or laminated composite materials, and they are modeled as three-dimensional elastic body, so adherends with any thickness can be analyzed. Assumptions of an axisymmetric joint with linearly elastic adherends and adhesive materials are employed. Thin adhesive layer is considered so that only the out-of-plane adhesive stresses are concerned, and they are treated to be uniform through its thickness. Using elasticity theory and the newly developed finite-segmented method, stress distributions in both adherends and adhesive can be evaluated. Calculation examples of laminated composite joints are given. This model provides the unified analysis of adhesive-bonded cylindrical coupler joints.
