Abstract

Nowadays there are an increasing number of industrial fields in which adhesive technology finds application. The main reason for their growing interest in both science and production is due to the high structural efficiency of this type of joining. Numerous studies have investigated the stress distribution in the adhesive layer under unreinforced conditions. The present work analyzes the elastic shear stress distribution in double-lap adhesive joints between timber and float glass adherends, both in the classical configuration and with an introduction of a nylon reinforcement in the two-component (2K) structural epoxy adhesives layers. In particular, three geometric configurations were investigated: nylon placed on the inner adherend, outer adherend and both. The result showed how the presence of the nylon inclusion changes the stress distribution in the joint. Numerical modelling of the joints was carried out using FE ANSYS©19 software. The greatest reduction in peak adhesive stresses is achieved by placing the reinforcement at both interfaces of the adherends with the adhesives. In general, it can be observed that the insertion of the reinforcement layer leads to a reduction in peak shear stresses, resulting in a potential increase in the ultimate strength of the joint.
