Abstract:In order to explore the strength of the structure with lap joints, the adhesively bonded single lap joints
with differential temperature were tested in tension loading which creates shear across the bondline. The equivalent
stress was obtained through finite element analysis to define the effect of temperature, which helped to get the conclusions
that the higher of the temperature, the bigger of the thermal stress and thermal stress value and the stronger of
the adhesive strength. Then, the failure modest of the adhesive varioused with the increasing of the temperature.
