Abstract

The numerical analysis of the inner step length on the stress distribution in weld-bonded single aluminum lap joint was investigated using elasto-plastic finite element method (FEM). The results from the numerical simulation show that the peak stress along the bondline peak stress at the end of lap zone is decreased when the inner steps were arranged in the adherend and it is decreased as the step length increased. Compared to the results from the normal joint, appropriate inner step length is beneficial to optimize the stress distribution in single-lap aluminum weld-bonded joint.
