Adhesive bonding is one of the effective ways to reduce the weight of structures. Researchers have done lots of numerical analysis and finite element analysis taking into account of the complex stress state in the bonded area, as well as the stress singularity occurs at the overlap edges with a view to efficiently predict the strength and rigidity of adhesively bonded joints. As they may suffer shock or impact loads in practice which leads to high strain rate in structures, analysis methods for adhesively bonded joints differ from that at quasi-static condition for two reasons: one is the mechanical properties of materials, including adhesives and substrates are different at high strain rates, the other is the additional consideration of elastic wave propagation in solid body. This article summaries several finite element analysis methods for adhesively bonded joints at high strain rate developed by domestic and foreign scholars and corresponding experimental standards for determining required parameters of each analytical method and raised some questions that need for further study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
