Abstract

The effect of the nugget position on the stress distribution in aluminum single-lap weld-bonded joint was investigated using elasto-plastic finite element method (FEM). The results from the numerical analysis show that all the peak stresses of stress components Sx, Sy, Sxy and von Mises equivalent stress Seqv at the points near the left edge of the nugget along the bondline decreased greatly as the center of the nugget moved from the point near the left end to the center of the overlap zone. Meanwhile the peak stresses at the points near the right edge of the nugget is not varied significantly. The minimum value of the peak stress is occurred when both centers of the nugget and the overlap zone become the same one.
