A finite element modelling methodology for the non-linear stiffness evaluation of adhesively bonded single lap-joints: Part 1. Evaluation of key parameters

Reported in this paper is the development and verification of a finite element model with the fewest solid elements that can predict the non-linear stiffness characteristics of adhesively bonded single lap-joints in vehicle bodies. This work was driven by the need to significantly reduce computing h...
