This book provides up-to-date information relevant to the analysis and design of adhesively bonded joints made up of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites using functionally graded adhesive (FGA). Damage behaviors in adhesively bonded joints of laminated FRP composites have been addressed, and joint configurations have been modeled using special finite elements (FEs) and multipoint constraint elements to simulate the contact behavior. Detailed 3D finite element analyses (FEAs) have been presented for different adhesively bonded joint structures along with guidelines for effective design philosophy of adhesively bonded joints in laminated FRP structures using FGA. Features: Provides a tho...
