Strength Analysis of Hybrid (Bolt-Adhesive) Joint

Traditional joints such as weld spot rivet etc. are used for connecting various Automotive Aerospace etc. parts. To enhance strength of already existing joints without changing existing design can be achieved by use of industrial adhesives. So here I used Araldite for enhancing its strength. Modeling of hybrid joint is done in CAD software and analyzing it for induced structural stresses and deformation in CAE software. It is also tested experimentally for the tensile load and results were correlated with analysis results.It can also improve the properties like increasing load bearing capacityused for extreme joint strengthmore joint flexibilityleak proofImproved Aesthetics and light weight.
