Abstract(s)
Adhesive joints are being increasingly used in various industries, including the automotive or the wind turbines industries. Such increasing interest is a direct result of its high structural efficiency and also the product of its related scientific research. Therefore, the state-of-the-art on adhesive joints is significantly expanding. The current work aims to discuss the most recent works dedicated to the numerical analysis of the dynamic behaviour of adhesive joints. Dynamic behaviour was divided into three separate fields: fatigue, variable strain rate and impact, and modal analysis. It was found that Cohesive Zone Models are a popular approach to study fatigue, variable strain rates and impact. Additionally, the available literature focused on fatigue and impact is more extensive than the one focused on modal analysis. Overall, it was found that the available research on the numerical analysis of the dynamic behaviour of adhesive joints is increasing at a solid rate, and many geometrical and material variations have been tested numerically. With this review designers and researchers of adhesive joints should be able to choose the most suitable numerical technique for their specific dynamic analysis.
