Figure 6: Strength prediction using the maximum τ xy criterion

4. Conclusion

In this work two di ff erent meshless methods, the RPIM and the NNRPIM, were used to analyse a SLJ under an impact load. The two meshless methods were validated for this type of application since the stress fields in the adhesive mid-thickness line are similar between the two meshless methods and the FEM. Furthermore, The strength predictions are also similar for the three numerical methods. The criterion used, the maximum τ xy , under predicts joint strength under impact, similarly to what happens in static analysis. Joint strength also seems to increase with increased to the L O , this is also predicted by the criterion used but to a lesser degree.
