Effects of compressive applied load on the adhesive single lap joint with different parameters

In this study, the adhesively bonded Single Lap Joint (SLJ) under the compressive loading is investigated to get an in-depth insight in the joint behaviour. For this purpose, three different overlap lengths, three different adherend thicknesses and also two different adherend types were used as parameters. Unlike the joints under the tensile loading, three different failure modes were found in the current joints; full plastic deformation of the...
