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 plane strain state, an orthotropic behaviour for the laminates and an elastic-plastic behaviour for the adhesive. It w...
The electrical component under analysis does not fulfil the mechanical performance required by the standard (a minimum force of 400 gf during the extraction of a 3.8 mm diameter pin after the introduction of a 5.1 mm pin). A numerical study using the finite element method was developed to understand the limited response of the component and to study the effect of changing material and geometry. Experimental tes...
