Abstract

Adhesives are commonly used in almost every sector of industry because of their high corrosion resistance, uniform stress distribution, and because they can bond similar or different materials. The surface geometry of bonded joints significantly affects strength behavior since it produces different stress conditions. Therefore, it is important to select an appropriate joint type. Using today’s technology, it is possible to increase the surface area of a bonded joint with different geometries with the same overlap length. In this study, an attempt was made to develop new joint types with different surface geometries that could be alternatives to conventional joints. New joint types were joined with acrylic structural adhesive and were subjected to tensile load. Models were created with finite elements to investigate the effects of the different joints on the strength. The tests showed that the lap joints withstood greater load with improved surface geometry.
