Stress Analysis of Adhesive-Bonded Cylindrical Lap Joints by Hybridlmixed Finite Element Method

Abstract

Hybrid/mixed finite element method (HMFEM) of 4-node and 8-node quadrilateral element and displacement finite element method (DFEM) of 6-node triangle element are presented for the axial symmetry problem of three dimension and are applied to make some stress analyses for adhesis -bonded cylindrical lap joints. Numerical computations show HMFEM gives more satisfactory conclusion than DFEM.
