ABSTRACT

The well known analysis of the single lap joint by Goland and Reissnerprovided important contributions to the literature on stress analysis of adhe-sive joints by clarifying not only the importance of adhesive peel stresses injoint failure, but also the role of bending deflections of the joint in control--ling the level of the stresses in the adhesive layer. Subsequent efforts havesuggested the need for corrections to the Goland and Reissner analysis becauseof what have been conceived as deficiencies in the model used to describe bend-ing deflections of the central part of the joint where a classical homogeneousbeam model without shear or thickness normal deflections were used. T -' nro-q"- raper addresses the issue through the use of a more realistic model inwhich adhesive layer deflections are allowed to decouple the two halves of thejoint in the overlap region in the bending deflection analysis, as well as inthe analysis of adhesive layer stresses where such a decoupling was allowed byGoland and Reissner. It is found that many of the predictions of the Golandand Reissner analysis are recovered in the limit of large adherend-to-adhesivelayer thickness ratios, although substantial differences from the Goland andReissner analysis can occur for relatively thin adherends.

INTRODUCTION

One of the most widely quoted papers in the literature on stresses in adhesive joints is thatof Goland and Reissner[1] (subsequently referred to as "GR") on single lap joints. This paperwas particula,!y significant in being the first effort to identify the effects of adherend bendingdeflections on the peel and shear stresses in the adhesive layer of a single lap join.

The portion of the GR analysis relating to bending deflections treated the actual joint, FigureI(A), as a stepped homogeneous beam, Figure 1(B), in which the height of the center sectionwas assumed to be twice the thicknesses of the adherends (thus ignoring the thickness of thebond layer). The forces due to tensile end-loading, assumed to lie along the line a-a' inFigure 1 (A), were found to produce varying moment about the neutral axis at any point alongthe representative beam which resulted in the bending deflections of interest. The deflectionanalysis for this system was treated essentially by "beam column" analysis [2], i.e. as theanalysis of deflections in a beam with combined column (i.e. axial) and lateral loading. (Notethat in the GR analysis the column loading is tensile rather than compressive. The latterrepresents the case used in [2] to introduce the concept of Euler column buckling.)

A question arises with the GR analysis in the manner in which the moment is represented inthe center section. The crux of the matter is the comparison of the classical moment-curvaturerelation for a homogeneous beam and the corresponding expression for a layered beam (i.e.Equation (1) vs. (2)):

MOMENT-CURVATURE RELATIONSHIPS

HomogeneousBeam: MN = (1)12 dx2

Layered Beam • M¢N - MU + ML + t(TL - TU) (2)2

In the above equations, MN represents the moment about the neutral axis, w is lateraldeflection and h is the height of the homogeneous beam -- ie. approximately twice theadherend thickness, t, for a thin bond layer. With z as the thickness-wise coordinate havingits origin at the mid plane of the bond layer, the remaining quantities in (1) and (2) are givenby

M = _-Ch/l2 za x dzMNN J-h12zad

Mu = J( h14-z)aAz , M =L (z + h/4)(xdz (3)

Tu= f c2Odz , TL= faXdz

Equation (1) is the classical moment-curvature relation for a homogeneous beam of heighth which ignores transverse shear and thickness-wise deformations. Equation (2), on the otherhand, is a statement of equilibrium of the components indicated at the right end of thesegment in Figure 1(C) which make up MN. Equation (1) happens to be equivalent to (2)under certain conditions, but these do not apply to the ends of the overlap where significantshear straining of the bond layer takes place. Because it provides for equilibrium, (2) is amandatory relationship which it is desirable to preserve in the formulation.

It is of interest to compare (1) and (2) for the case of a homogeneous beam. Noting thestandard expression for axial stress in the overlap region under combined bending andstretching (i.e. a linear function of distance from the neutral axis):

-t MNZ (where T =TL + TU ; I = h3/12) (4)

then making use of (1) to represent MN in (4) and introducing the latter into (3) leads to

Since t-h/2, Eq(5) lead to

Mt+ML+ i(TLTtj) 2Et - JEh3d (6)2 3 dX2 12 dx 2

agreeing with (2) on inserting (1) into the latter. This implies that Eq(5) have to hold in orderfor (1) to be applicable. In the single lap joint, however, as noted in Fig I(A), ML and TL arezero at the left end of the overlap, while Mu and TU are zero at the right end. Furthermore, inthe GR analysis, Mu was represented at the left end of the overlap where (sec Figure 2) x=1oin terms of Tt/2 through a dimensionless parameter k:

MU(x =0)= kt i (7)

2

where k was a function of load in the range 0.26<k<1. Table 1 gives a comparison of requiredtraction conditions at x=Q with the values for these conditions which are implied by (5) when(7) is taken into account. It is apparent that if k is not equal to unity, the required end conditionson ML, Tu and TL cannot be realized if (5) apply. Moreover, the fact that MN is negative at x=1.while Mu is positive implies the presence of a curvature discontinuity in the upper adherend if(1) applies. Thus Equation (1) cannot, strictly speaking, be used to represent MN over thelength of the overlap. Hart Smith first pointed this out qualitatively in [3], concurring with theobservation that tne use of (1) requires the presence of nonzero tractions over the left end of thelower adherend. Rather than attempting to retain (1), it is desirable to use a formulation whichis consistent with (2) regardless of whether or not conditions apply for which (1) is valid.

As suggested above, the lack of validity of Equation (1) is associated mainly with thepresence of shear strains in the bond layer. More specifically, the equivalent of the followingequation (see Appendix A, Eq(A-6) ) which GR used to obtain the gradient of shear strainin the bond layer:

dy 2 [(T -TL).+3(Mu+M,)]dx E't2 t 2

gives a value of zero when (5) are allowed for, so that a condition of constant or zero shearstrain in the bond is implied by (5). Lap joints typically have large shear stress and thereforestrain gradients along their length due to adherend deformations, contrary to the latter result.It should be understood that the impact of shear straining on the performance of the joint isassociated with the fact that organic bond materials are relatively soft compared with typicaladherends. The extreme version of this situation can be visualized in terms of a beam cutalong its neutral axis like a leaf spring. Since bending stiffness is a cubic function of beamdepth, the bending stiffnesses of each of the two halves would be one eighth of that of theoriginal beam. A simple analysis shows that the combined bending stiffness of the two half-beams would be the sum of the two components, amounting to 25% of that of the originalbeam. Thus, shear straining along the neutral axis can be expected to decrease the bendingstiffness of the composite beam making up the overlap region of the joint.In general, Equation (1) will overestimate the bending stiffness of the overlapping part of thejoint, preventing correct determination of bending deflections. Since the thrust of the GRanalysis was to demonstrate the influence of bending deflections on the stresses developedin the bond, an effort to correct the situation appears desirable. It should be expected thatdifferences between predictions of the original GR approach and those of the present analysiswhich provides for effects bond shear straining on decoupling of the two adherends will begreater in joints containing relatively thin adherends. This is due to the fact that in the caseof thicker adherends, the range of the decoupling effects is shorter and is confined to a regionclose to the ends of the overlap. It can be argued from St. Venant's principle that Eq(l)should be valid sufficiently far from the overlap ends, and the influence of the load diffusionprocess which makes it valid will be less when the effects of interest here are short in rangerelative to the adherend thicknesses.

In addition to the discussion of Hart Smith which was previously cited [31, problems with theGR treatment of the bending analysis have been noted by others[4-51. Benson[4], as discussedby Adarms[5], described a modification of the analysis which dealt with the situation. Inaddition, Hart-Smith[3] did an extensive amount of work on the single lap joint that providedan alternate method of introducing the appropriate bending deflection corrections which willbe discussed subsequently.

Figure 2 Joint GeometryIn the present case, the center section of the joint will be treated essentially as a pair ofcoupled beams throughout the analysis. Once again it is emphasized that GR did use the[4]coupled-beam approach to deal with of peel and shear stresses in the adhesive layer, but notin their deflection analysis.

The length of the adherends beyond the overlap is 9. while the overlap has alength I (-2c, in the GR notation). It is assumed that tension loads (i.e. resultants) T arepresent at the outer ends. In terms of T it is convenient to define nominal axial stress, iix, andstrain,'Tx: - (9.1) ; X (9.2) ; E 1=E(1 -v 2 ) (9.3)t E

(E, v = Young's modulus, Poisson ratio for axial straining.) Along with T, there are assumedto be transverse shear forces V which produce moment free conditions at the end points,provided

V= aT ; =t/2L ; L=Qo + /2 a o + c (10)

As in Figure 2, the directions of the transverse forces are downward at the right end andupward at the left end for moment free conditions. Fig 3 recalls standard conventions for thesigns of moments, shear forces and tensions, as well as coordinates and displacements. Asusual, positive moments, shear forces and tensions correspond to those shown for the rightend of segment "1", while at the left end of a given segment the forces and moments areobviously the reactions to those applying to the right end of the neighboring segment (to theleft of the one under consideration). Thus in Figure 3, the reactions at the left end of Segment"1" are shown as the negatives of the quantities associated with the right end of Segment "2".

Additional relationships associated with the antisymmetry of the joint are illustrated in Figure4, where attention is focussed on points located at XL and XR - 2 L-XL , i.e. points located atthe same distance from each end. Equilibrium of vertical forces requires that the shear forcesat these points be equal, i.e.

V(xL) = V(2L -xL (11)

In addition, since the generic expression V=-dM/dx holds, the fact that the moment is afunction which is zero at x=L and whose derivative is symmetric about x=L requires that themoment itself be antisymmetric, i. e.

M(xL) = -M(2L -XL) (12)

so that as shown in Figure 5, the shear forces at the ends of the overlap are equal while themoments are equal but opposite in sign. In the specific case of the ends of the overlap, GRuses the notation Mo and Vo for the moment and shear force, as indicated in Figure 5. Inaddition, GR expresses Mo in terms of the parameter k introduced in (7) and Vo in terms ofan additional dimensionless parameter k':

M o =k t T • V = 2k'T/(32 (13)

where =t

For future reference, the end conditions on the individual adherends may be statedas in Table 2. The last four rows of Table 2 are used in forming end conditions fordifferential equations given in Appendix A.

Detailed RelationshipsThe equations encountered in the GR analysis are reviewed in Appendix A. Note thatthese exhibit the influence of lateral deflection on the moment distribution due to theshift in the lever arm, il!,istrated in Figure 6. Here the horizontal component of end load,

If Eb/Gb is set equal to the expression for isotropic materials of 2 (1 +Vb) where Vb is the Poissonratio for the bond material, the max peel-to-shear stress ratio runs from about 2 for the upperlimit of k of unity, to a little less than I for the lower limit (k=0.26), for an assumed Poissonratio of around 0.5. The specific value of the assumed Poisson ratio is not important, but thisestimate emphasizes that two maximum stresses take on values which are proportional to eachother for various joint geometries and for which the proportionality constant is in the range of1 to2.

Figure 6 Effect of Deflection on Moment Distribution

A certain amount of controversy has arisen over the results given in Appendix A for the peelstresses ( Eq(A-15) ) from which (A-15.3) is obtained. Kuenzi and Stevens[6] stated a versionof Eq(A- 15) (coefficients of the peel stress equation) with the signs of some terms reversed fromthose of the GR version (see discussion following Eq(A-15) ) without commenting on thejustification for differing from GR. Moreover, Refl3-4,7] claimed to have verified the versiongiven in [6], while Carpenter[81 found the original version as given above to be valid.

Considerable care has been taken here to identify correct boundary conditions at the ends of theoverlap in order to be sure that the correct expressions for peel stress coefficients were obtained.As far as can be determined, the original expressions given by GR are the correct ones. In anyevent, the terms in question which correspond to the term U in the second factor of (A-15.3)summarized above do not usually contribute strongly to the peel stress predictions.

IMPROVED ANALYSIS

Deformations and Shear Stresses

In the following discussion, it will be convenient to represent the individual adherenddisplacements and stress resultants in terms of differences and sums, since the bond layerstresses are more easily represented by differences in the adherend displacements and resultantsthan in terms of their individual values. Accordingly, the following notation is introduced:

I87<x) =Tu -TL (15.1) WW = --- ((wu+wr.) (15.2)

8. = wu -wL (15.3)

Note that the individual adherend resultants can be expressed in terms of T and &r(x),as follows: 1 - 1 -

Tu = -f [T+ T(X)I ; TL = 2[T-&T(x)] (16)

In addition, note that the quantity Mu+ML, which appears in Eq(2) as well as (A-6.1) for theassumed case of identical adherends, is given by

MU +ML = 2DU... (17)

For increased accuracy in the following, the quantity t/2 appearing in Eq(2) and (A-2.2) willbe replaced by (t+tb)/ 2 to provide for the effect of bond layer thickness. The replacement ofEq(1) by (2) modified in this way can then be accommodated by using Eq(A- 1.3, .4) to representMU and ML in terms of displacements (setting DU=D L) i.e.:

d2wu d 2 WL t+tbM N = Du(- + -- ) -.- (TU -TL)MN dU( 2 dx2 2

or, in terms of the notation just introduced,M =Du d 2; t+t b8T-()M N V-- - ' ) (18)

dx2 2

Then equating the modified form of (A-2.2) with (18) (letting the neutral axis displacement berepresented by W) leads to

D d 2 _t+tb 8 Tax-(.t+tb -)T (19)

Note that, as opposed to the original GR analysis, coupling occurs between w and the adherendresultants, so that w cannot be determined independently of 5T in the updated analysis. A second

-11-

Page 18: A LAYERED BEAM THEORY FOR SINGLE LAP JOINTS

equation in w and 5r is obtained by multiplying (A-6.1) by Gb to get dtbjdx on the left which,according to (A-3. 1), is equivalent to d2TU/dx 2, or equivalently (according to the left memberof (16) ) to (d25r/dx2)/2. Then again allowing for the assumption of identical adherends, makinguse of (15.1) and (17) leads to

d2 T 2 Gb 1 wd2 0dx2 t Bu dx2

We can combine Eq(19) and (20) with (A-5.1) (which there was no need to modify) and obtaina self-contained system of differential equations for w and 8T. After transposing and re-applyingpreviously developed notation, we get

Eq(21.2, .3) can be solved as a 2x2 system. Boundary conditions include the end conditions on&r. in terms of the values of Tu and TL given in Table 2, together with the joining conditions onthe displacements at x=Q0. The homogeneous part of this system can be written

where U and P which are key parameters in the GR analysis (EQ(A-8, A-9) are defined by

These represent exponential decay factors in the functions describing bending and bond shearstress distribution along the overlap region in the GR analysis. Solutions to (22) can beexpressed as exponential functions:When substituted into (22), these lead to a 2x2 system of algebraic equations with Ah,

The following notation in terms of U and 0, will be useful:

obtained from setting the determinant of(24.1, .2) to zero.

Note that we can express R given in (25.1), in terms of U and j3, as

R- 12 rItb (27)Is Gb t

from which we observe that as the adherend thickness, t, grows, R approaches zero. In addition,Eq(25) give us, for R, and R2

R1P1l RPR[ (28.1) P2 1= F R,20 (28.2)

which, taking note of (25.2), leads to

R = 81 (28.3) , R 2 - - (28.4)

In terms of v (suppressing the j subscript), Eq(26) can be expressed as

The roots of (29) are of the form

v1 ,V2 =a±b (30.1) where a =[4(l +pt) +---- (30.2) ; b-=_a2-R 2 (30.3)4 4

It is useful to observe here that the standard identity between the constant term of a quadraticexpression and the product of its roots, when applied to (29), implies that v2 R2/v1 . When thisrelationship is applied to (28.3, .4), the following relationship:

1 (31)

is obtained. For most practical situations, the value of R obtained from (27) will be on the orderof 1 or less. On the other hand, the quantity "a" given in (30.2) can not be less than 4, so that ingeneral we have R2<<a2. Accordingly, a binomial expansion of (30.3) gives the approximation

Rb =a - R (32)

from which (30) lead to

R

v 1 =-R (33.1) ; v2 -=2a (33.2)2a

or, making use of (28.3, .4) followed by (28.1, .2):

2Ri = (34.1) " R2---F (34.2)

i.e.for large t,for which (p%, R) - 0 and a -4:

R1 =R 2 = 1 (34.3)

PI = R = U P2 = F 1 (35)

which are the roots of the differential equations in the original GR analysis for deflection of thecenter part of the joint and the bond shear stresses. In the updated analysis, the solution givenin (A-7. 1) for the outer part of the adherend is still applicable, while for the overlapping part ofthe joint, the complete solution corresponding to Eq(21.2, .3) is a combination of the exponentialfunctions appearing in (23) containing the coefficients +#1 and ±P2 (arranged terms ofhyperbolic functions to accommodate the anti-symmetry of the problem) plus a linear termrepresenting the particular solution of (21.2). In the following it is convenient to express thecoefficients of terms describing v as multiples of t/2, as was done earlier. Thus the coefficients

Whi (j=1,2), where j corresponds to which root of (26) is referenced, can be convenientlyexpressed in terms of t/2 by

Whj(J1,2) = kj- (36)

The complete solution for 7 and 8T is then given by

#o<X<I.o+I

sinh [pI (x -L)/t] sinh [lp2(x -L)/t] (37.2)

sinh(plk/2) sinh(p 2X/2)

It is convenient to express the coefficients of Eq(37.2) as well as (37.1) in terms of k2j. For thispurpose note that (24.2) together with (36) imply that Ahj and k2j are related by

AHhE 1,2) = HjE/k 2j (38.1) where Hj = (38.2)

From Eq(9) together with the definition of U following (22), we can substitute

E't= 12U

2

into (38.1) to eliminate E't. In addition, it is useful to express the Hi's in terms of the rootsU/(8) 112 and (8)1/2 B of the GR deflection and bond sb-ar stress analysis, as follows:

H J U2 (Rp3) 2 (39.1) H H2 = j2 (8 32) (39.2)8 8

where the Jj's are constants to be determined. Substituting (39) into (38.1) together with theexpression for E't just given then leads to

Ah =3JIk21 T (40.1) ; Ah2=48J2 R-22 (40.2)4 R2

In addition, substitution of (38.2) into (39), representing the pj's in terms of (28.1, .2), andallowing for (31), leads to

In the following, the deflection equation, (A-7.1), for x< 0o, will be expressed in terms ofrevised notation in which "kn" (the subscript "n" designating "new") will be substituted for the"k" of the original GR analysis, ie. (A-7.1) is expressed as

X<1.

W= t k sinh(Ux/t) -ax (42)2 sinh(U%,,)

Continuity conditions at x=#o can now be established to obtain equations for determining kntogether with the k2j's. Note here that for practical purposes, the displacements of the neutralaxis in the region of overlap may be taken as equivalent to that of either adherend, since theactual difference is on the order of the adhesive peel strain times the adhesive layer thickness,a much smaller quantity than wU, wL or w can be expected to amount to. Thus the displacementof the outer adherend can be considered equal to that of the neutral axis at x=10 and similarlywith the slopes. Continuity requirements then amount to equating the value and derivative of ivgiven by (37.1) with those of w given by (42) for x=Q0 [i.e. (x-L)/t =-X12] as well as setting &rgiven by (37.2) to T at that location. After canceling out common factors of T and t/2, threeequations relating kn, k21 and k22 are obtalned:

-3Jlk 21 + 48A2k 22 = -1 (43.1)

k2 1 +

22 + kn = 1 (43.2)

R 1Rk 2 1 + 8R2 Th2lk 22 - '8R.5-2L kn =0 (43.3)Th22 Thi

where Th2j = tanh(pjX/2) (43.4)

A straightforward elimination approach can be used, here in which (43.1) is first transposed toget k22 in terms of k21:

k2 2 = R 2 (C Ik 21 -C 2) (44.1)

where

Cl K ; C2 _ I K1 = 3Jl K2 = 48,2 (44.2)

-16-

Page 23: A LAYERED BEAM THEORY FOR SINGLE LAP JOINTS

which may be substituted into (43.2) to eliminate k22:

(1 +R2 C1)k 21 -R 2 C2 + k,, = 1

or, after transposing:

k 1 I-- 2 k (45)1 +R2 C1

Back-substituting this into (44.1) to eliminate k gives

k22 = R 2 (C1 1 +R 2 C2 -k C2) (46)1 +R2Cl

Finally, substituting (45) and (46) into (43.3) provides an expression for kn of theform

1 +R2C2-kn + Th21 R 2 (C 1 -C 2 ) -R 2 Ck, _ -Th2 =

1+R +C I +R Th22

which transposes to give:

RI(1 +R2 C2) + 8R 2 Th2lR(C1 -C2)

kn = Th22 (47)

+ 8R2 221RC1 + F (I + 21)2ZLTh22 T ,,-hl

As noted previously [ Eq(27) ], R tends toward zero for large t, so that all the termsin (47) containing R as a factor will disappear, while R1 and R2 approach unity. Wethen have:

i.e. k. approaches the value given in the GR analysis for their "k" given by (A-7.6). (It caneasily be shown that Th21 of the present analysis approaches Th2 of the GR analysis.) Inaddition, substituting (30.2) into (49.2) and the latter into (54) gives

t>>t b (R,Ptp-2)

From (49) it is apparent that we can setJt--1, J2=1/3 (t>>tb), (50)

At this point we focus attention on the bond layer shear stress distribution. Noting the relationbetween Tu and 5T, given in (15) and applying (A-3.1) to (36.2) with TU expressed in termsof &r leads to the following for 'rb:

P1 cosh[ p,(x-L)/tJ p2 cosh[p2(x-L)/t (_____AM___ + -A_ - (52)___t " sinh(p 1 X/2) 2t sinh(p 2 ./2)

from which the maximum value of shear stress in the bond layer is approximatelyt>>t b (R,pt-- 0)

Note that as in the case of kn given by (46), Eq(54) is in essential agreement with Eq(A- 10)obtained by GR, except that the second term in the latter disappears for sufficiently large X

(i.e. dimensionless overlap length), whereas here the second term persists no matter how longthe joint is.

Peel Stresses in the Modified Analysis

Note that (see Eq(A-2.2), Appendix A) the same expression ( Eq(2) ) for MN, the momentabout the neutral axis, applies for the present analysis as that used by GR. However, for theindividual adherends, this needs to be examined further to insure a correct version of theformulation for the peel stresses. In particular, the influence of bond shear and peel stresseson the moments in the individual adherends has to be re-examined. In the following, it willturn out that the influence of peel stresses on the adherend moment distribution will beunchanged from what it was in the GR analysis. However, the contribution of the shearstresses on acherend moments is influenced by adherend deflections through the samemechanism as that which applied to the moments generated by the horizontal components ofthe end loads. A particular point which should be understood has to do with the way thatthese horizontal loads generate moments at various points in the adherends. These are notlarge deflection effects corresponding to large values of either lateral deflection or slope.Rather, they should be thought of as long range effects, since they correspond to relativelylarge horizontal offsets between the point where the load is generated and the point underconsideration where moments are being calculated. Figure 7(A) denotes the incremental loads,dF(R) and dF0 () generated on the upper adherend by the shear and peel stresses at a genericaxial position i, where

dF(,JR) = "rbd' ; dF0 (x) = ubdX

As stated previously, the theory developed here is a small strain, small deflection theory.Thus, for example, rotation will produce a vertical component of dF.r given approximately byw'dF t at i which will produce a moment contribution at x given by (i-x)w'dFT. The fact thatw' is assumed to be a negligible quantity does not rule out the possibility that (x-i)w' maynot be if x-i is large enough.

On the other hand, a similar horizontal component of dF o given approximately by w'dFoproduces a moment at x given by [w(x)-w(i)Jw'dFo; but since w(x)-w(i) is equivalent to(x-i)w')avc where w'),ve is the average slope in the interval between i and x, the contributionof the rotation of dFo is of the order of (x-i)w' 2dF0 , i.e. proportional to the square of theslope, and can be ignored in comparison with w'(x-i)dF.. Thus, while the rotation of dF. canbe ignored in a small-slope analysis, that of dF. cannot necessarily be similarly ignored.Accumulation of dF. and dF0 by integration along the adhesive-aaherend interface will thenproduce a moment at the point of observation, x, which is determined by the offset of theload lines of incremental loads dFl, and dF o , applied at i, from the point of observation, ie.by Q and Q shown in Figure 7(B). The adherend moments can thus be written as

UpperAdherend

This is obtained from considering various contributions to 4, shown in Figure 7. It is clear,first of all, that a moment is generated by dF, from the difference in wu at f and x, as shownin Figure 7(C). In addition, as in Figure 7(D) (lower expression at right end of adherendsegment), the tilt of the tangent vector at i has the effect of counteracting the latterdisplacement difference by an amount (x-i)w', resulting in Eq(55)). As apparent in Figure7(B),however, the deflection of the lower adherend tends to move its neutral axis toward theload line of dF. rather than away from it as in the case of the upper adherend. As a result,the terms in Eq(55) which are in square brackets are subtracted for the lower adherendrather than added, resulting in

=-2(t+tb)- [wL(x)-wL(i)-(x-i)w(.)I (56)

inserting Eq(55) and (56) into the integral expressions just given for the moments in theadherends at a generic observation point x, ( xQ o) leads to:

MU- V + Twu(x ) + 'tb(1{(t+th + [wU(x)-w1(i)-(X-X)Wu(i)] )d' + (x-i)tb(i)di (57.1)

and

ML = 'l"t(){2(t +tb) - [W L(X) -WL (X -(x -)wL i). }di - (X -i)ab(i)di (57.2)

Derivatives of Eq(57) are needed for the subsequent development. These are obtained by useof the following identities which apply to arbitrary functions F(x), G(x) and H(x):

d 1.I1(1)di - H(x)

from which

F() () l= F(x) G(x) d :F() G(x) di = G'(x)VF(I)dI +G(x)F(x)

while from the same relationships, the right hand side of (63) can be expressed as

The last equation is comparable to (20.1) obtained by GR for the peel stresses, with theaddition of the second order term on the left and the forcing function on the right. Thehomogeneous solution for (66) will be of a form similar to (26) for the GR peel stressanalysis, except for minor changes having to do with the fact that the coefficients for the

-22-

Page 29: A LAYERED BEAM THEORY FOR SINGLE LAP JOINTS

trigonometric factors in (24) will be slightly different from those for the factors involvinghyperbolic functions. In practice, the changes are so small as to be of no practicalsignificance, so that (26), with an appropriate modification of k, can be used for thehomogeneous solution for all intents and purposes.

The presence of a non-zero function on the right side of (66) requires the addition of aparticular solution to the homogeneous solution. Obviously, the factors from which the righthand side is formed are obtained from the solutions for 7V and aT given in (51). The detailsof this part of the solution will be provided in Appendix B. Again it will be found that inpractical situations, the differences introduced by these terms from those of the GR peel stressexpression (except for the replacement of k by kn) are essentially negligible.

COMMENTS ON THE HART-SMITH ANALYSISTo date, the only serious attempt to correct the deficiencies of the GR deflection analysis,other than the present one, appears to have been that of Hart-Smith[3] which was developedon a NASA contract in the early 70's. Those results have been frequently quoted in reportsand publications which have appeared since then, and a comparison with the present resultsis in order. The most crucial part of the Hart-Smith analysis is the expression given foradherend bending, which we may compare with Eq(21.2) of the present analysis. This isrepeated here for comparison:

--U2 a1 (RPT21.2)

dx 81 2 -2 2 DU

The comparable equation in [4] is equivalent to a twice differentiated version ofEq(35.2)

d4 _ U 2 d 2 = - 1 -B -t b1 .

dx 4 2t 2 dX2 d 2 U

but lacking the second order term which is needed to allow for the influence ofdeflection on moments, ie.

d 4,Z I Ia' T_.- = -f (1b +)---Ib

The absence of the second derivative term here completely changes the character of thesolution. As a result, the influence predicted by this approach gives much longer range effectsthan those of the present analysis. In effect, this prevents St. Venant's principle from beingsatisfied in the sense of not allowing Eq(l) to be applicable at any point in the system. ofeither GR or the present analysis is in the variation of k which is obtained. Table 3 comparesthe expression for k vs. overlap length obtained from the three approaches.

Considering k as a function of UXJ2 -(12Zx) 1 2t2/2t, i.e. dimensionless overlap length togetherwith square root of the loading strain, the GR analysis has the well known asymptotic limitk-0.262 for large UX/2. The present theory will likewise be found to produce an asymptoticlimit but one which may vary to some extent from 0.262, especially for thin adherends. In

contrast, the Hart-Smith expression has lower limit of zero for increasing UX. Note that helatter result corresponds to zero shear and peel stresses. This type of behavior is notconsistent with what is found in most problems of load diffusion which is what we aredealing with near the end of the overlap, and a lower limit on the stresses which persists evenfor indefinitely long overlaps and large loads seems to be more in line with practicalexpectations.

NUMERICAL RESULTS

The degree to which the results of the original Goland and Reissner analysis differ from thoseof the updated analysis of the present paper depends primarily on the R, the ratio of U to [3,

Figure 8 gives a comparison of the GR and Hart-Smith predictions for k vs. UX, while Figure9 shows a similar comparison between GR and the results of the present analysis for k vs.Ux.The effect of R on the curve of k vs. U/2 is effectively brought out in these results. It isclear that the largest difference between GR and the present analysis occurs for smalladherend thicknesses.

Figure 10 shows the effect of adherend thickness on the shear and peel stress predictionsobtained from the present analysis for large enough UX so that effects of joint length havesettled out, i.e. with k having reached its lower limit. For the case considered here,

E'= 20x10 6 psi, Gb= 1 5 0 ksi, Eb= 5 0 0 ksi, tb = 0.008 in, s = 20 ksi.

It is interesting to note that the ratio of maximum peeling to shear stresses predicted inEq(15) for the GR analysis is close to unity, so that the GR curves lie nearly on top of eachother. Considerable deviation from the GR curves is noted in those of the present analysis.In particular, the shear stresses obtained from the present analysis are greater than thosepredicted by GR, while the peel stresses are somewhat less than those obtained by GR.

CONCLUSIONS

In the context of the use of beam theory for modelling adherend response, the approachemployed in this paper appears to provide the first completely consistent model for theanalysis of single lap joints. It is emphasized that the original Goland-Reissner model, inanalyzing the deflections of the joint, used a classical homogeneous beam model forcalculating deflections which was not consistent with the bi-layer model used by them topredict bond shear and peel stresses. Due to the long-range nature of the effect of bond shearstrains on the bending stiffness of the joint when the adherends are thin, the largestdifferences between the present approach and the GR approach occur the case of thinadherends. On the other hand, the numerical results which have been obtained demonstratethat the original GR approach produces numerical results which do not substantially differfrom those of the present analysis. It is clear that for large adherend thicknesses, the effectswhich are ignored in the original GR approach are so concentrated near the ends of theoverlap that their consequences are not significant. Thus for thicker adherends, the GRapproach can be considered to have been satisfactory from the stand-point of soundengineering. The insight that Goland and Reissner brought to bear on the effects of adherendbending deflections together with the role of peel stresses on the strength of adhesive jointsstill stand as a major advance in the understanding of factors important to successful adhesivejoint design.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThe author is grateful to Dr. L. J. Hart-Smith for a number of discussions and observationsregarding the present effort.

APPENDIX BPEEL STRESS SOLUTION IN UPDATED ANALYSIS

Notation pertinent to this section are given in Table B. 1. Eq(66) which defines the peel stressesis repeated here for reference:

d'ab - U2 d2cab + Q(x) B-1.1)dX4 212 dX

2 tb4

where

Q(x) = T(x)Wl"(x) (B-1.2)

It is noted that the factors included in the function Q(x), on the right side of (B- 1. 1), involveonly the homogeneous parts of the solutions for &r and w(x), so that (B-1.2) can be written

Q() sinh[p, (x -L)/t] ' sinh[P2(X -L) / (IQ(x) --IAAI + Aja }sinh(JpWA2) sinh(p2 /2)

P, k t sinh[p 1(x-L)/t] p2 t sinh[p(x-L)/t)S{ -k2' 2 sinh(p, X/2 + kna sinh(P2 X/2) (B-2)

Defining M together with the qj's (ij = 1,2) as in Table B-1 and noting that from the definitionof M and U, we have that

7 -- a (B-3)

then using appropriate identities for the hyperbolic functions in (B-2) together with thefunctional notation in Table B-1 leads to

Q(x) = 3 - .{q" F "()- 1 Fn(4)- 1 F2 () -F 1 2(4) (7 F (X/2)-1 F22(./ 2) -1 + F2 (X/2) -F2(7)

Equation (B-1.1) can then be expressed as a sum of terms for each of which the RHS of (B-1.1) is an exponential function, giving a differential equation of the type

dab - U2 d2 ' + 4y( = Fe l' (B-5)

where (x and F are constants. Eq(B-5) has the particular solution1 I-Fea' (B-6)

a 4 -Ul 2 +4y'+ 2

2-?Decomposing the right side of (B- 1.1) into exponential terms and repeatedly applying (B-6)gives the particular solution that is needed here. The homogeneous solution of (B- 1. 1) consistsof terms of the form

ab-- a,e /1cos(yx/ t) + ae1"sin(yix/t)

However, the contribution of terms involving U in (B-9) compared withthose involving y is miniscule, and can be ignored with no risk of significant inaccuracy. Thusthe homogeneous part of the peel stress solution is essentially in agreement with that of the GRsolution will now be

but with ac and o, appropriately modified:

and comparing (B-13) with (B-18) gives Mp and VP as the following ratios with respect to Moand V .

The values of these ratios give a yardstick for judging how significant are the effects of theparticular solution on the peel stresses. Numerical evaluation indicates that G and H are on theorder of 1 to 2. Assuming the Goland Reissner limit for k (--0.262) applied to IC (considering thelong overlap case) and a value of I for G and H thus indicates that

M V--- O.I0.1 ; _-0.22(F- 1/

Mo V.

The adherend strain level will certainly not be greater than 0.01, so that the effect of theparticluar solution on the peel stresses is essentially negligible.
