Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to describe the mechanical behavior of adhesively bonded multi-layer thick composites. Based on the proposed novel deformation field, the stress field is derived for the layered composite joint. Unlike conventional shell theory, the proposed model developed takes into account the transverse shear deformation in the composite and adhesive layers; the adhesive layers are normally much more vulnerable to cracking. The validity and accuracy of the proposed model is investigated by comparing the results with finite element prediction for various loading scenarios.
