The effects of certain parameters, including the bonding length and bonding ratio, were investigated. For this reason, the epoxy adhesive was used. Joints were prepared with aluminum materials. The stress analyses were employed using the Finite Element Method (FEM). ANSYS (v.14.0.1) FEM tool was utilized to investigate the stress distribution characteristics of aluminum lap joint under tensile loading. Numerical results were found to be quite reasonable. The numerical results show that the influences of variations are very notable when the equivalent stresses are between 18 MPa and 20 MPa. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
