A Comprehensive Experimental Study on Bi-Adhesive Technique Applied to Structural T-Joints | Chapter 3 | Techniques and Innovation in Engineering Research Vol. 1

 T-joints are employed in a variety of industries, including the automotive, marine, and aerospace sectors. The bi-adhesive technique, which uses two adhesives and places a harder adhesive in the centre and a more flexible one at the overlap ends, is examined in this paper. The effectiveness of this approach in T-joints was tested using various adhesive ratios. A numerical research was conducted utilising the CZM technique in the ABAQUS® software to assess this idea. It included an examination of failure modes, stresses, strength or maximum load (Pm), and dissipated energy (U). Using the current work, the CZM approach was originally confirmed through experimental findings. The numerical work that followed showed that it is possible to raise Pm and U in comparison to single-adhesive joints and that the strength of T-joints is strongly dependant on the adhesive mixture utilised.
