Evaluation of Bonded Joints by Cohesive Zone Models: A Descriptive Study| Chapter 15 | New Trends in Physical Science Research Vol.3

Cohesive Zone Models (CZM) are commonly used to forecast adhesive junction strength. This research investigates the impact of various analytical conditions, especially cohesive parameters, utilised in CZM simulations to represent a thin adhesive layer in single-lap joints (SLJ) under tensile stress, on strength prediction under various geometrical and material circumstances. The researchers looked several adhesives with brittle to highly ductile characteristics and overlap lengths (LO) ranging from 12.5 to 50 mm. Several damage initiation and growth characteristics were explored. When the modelling conditions are properly specified, CZM is a potent approach for estimating the strength of bonded joints, according to the findings of this study.
