Influence of superposition length on mechanical resistance of single-lap adhesive joints

The present work studies the mechanical behaviour of single-lap joints of PP reinforced with glass fibres. Failure loads were obtained experimentally for different superposition lengths (15, 30, 45 and 60 mm). A 2D numerical analysis was developed using the finite element method, and assuming a plan...
