Additional information
Bonded joints are a widely used joining mechanism. This paper describes the first ever detailed and comprehensive measurements of residual strains in both the interior and exterior of adhesive joints. The strain measurements are supported by detailed FE modelling and Moire surface strain measurements. Up until now the values of residual strains caused during manufacture of joints had been calculated or derived by FE modelling but never fully verified. In fact good agreement was found between measured and calculated values which validates current methods and provides industry with greater confidence in the modelling results.
