ABSTRACT A comprehensive literature review on the existing analytical models based on
different material and geometry behaviors for both single and double-lap joints (as well as …

A graded material can be defined as a material which has constituents and/or properties that
vary in one or more directions throughout the material. In a functionally graded material …

Today, due to the frequent use of composite materials used in the aerospace and
automotive industries, an intensive study is carried out on the joining methods of these …

Stress concentrations at the overlap ends are one of the main reasons for strength reduction
in adhesive joints. The bi-adhesive technique was introduced as an efficient solution to …

The aim of the article is to construct a solution to the problem of topological optimization of a
symmetric two-shear and bi-adhesive joint. The one-dimensional mathematical model of the …

With the rapid development of new engineering materials, multi-material structures are now
widely used to achieve desired performances instead of conventional ones. The increased …

Bi-adhesive (or mixed-adhesive) joint is an alternative stress-reduction technique for
adhesively bonded lap joints. In this work, an experimental study was performed to assess …

A double lap joint is commonly used in thin structures under low running loads. Peel and
inter-laminar stresses are among the major limitations of this type of joint, which may cause …

This paper attempts to address the detailed verification of Zhao's analytical solution
including the moment effect with the two‐and three‐dimensional finite element results. Zhao …

Composite materials have become widespread in various industries due to their exceptional
properties of strength and flexibility, which creates an entirely new area of design …
