The usage of adhesives as connecting on method is increasing
rapidly in today world. Many of research, development and engineering
have been made to find the most important parameters for a success
adhesion. In this study, stress analysis of Z type bonded sheet that
connected with various adhesives has been investigated. The adhesive
thickness was constant (0.20 mm) b lap joint length and lap joint
angles (θ=15º, 30º, 45º) were varied for analysis. This study has deal
with the effect of overlap angle on predicting of the damage load of
adhesively bonded joints via a linear FEM(Finite Element Method). All
of the analysis were carried out with Ansys (10.0) computer software
with a generally purposed finite element application. Experimental
results were compared with numerical results and were found quite
reasonable
