Abstract

In the present paper, replacing similar adherends and an adhesive bond by finite strips, stress distributions in adhesive joints are analyzed strictly using the two-dimensional theory of elasticity in the case where adhesive butt joints are subjected to tensile loads. The effects of stiffness and thickness of adhesive bonds on the stress distributions are shown by numerical computations. For verification, an experiment is performed, and the analytical result is in a fairly good agreement with the experimental one. Furthermore, comparing the analytical result with the result obtained by F. E. M., they are in a fairly good agreement.
