Welded connections according to Eurocode 9. Design on joints in aluminium

In the past two decades considerabie research effort has been put into welded aluminium connections in order to better understand their structural behaviour and up-date the design rules in the existing standards at the time (Ref. 1).

Structural adhesive bonded joints in engineering. Drafting design rules

This paper introduces methods to draw up design rules to calculate the resistance of adhesive bonded joints for structural

Structural adhesively-bonded joints in engineering. Structural design

This paper deals with the methodology of the process of drafting design rules for adhesivelybonded

Guidelines for optimum designs of aluminium structures

Taking into account the positive aspects of aluminium alloy and providing structural solutions for the less advantageous properties is essential in designing successfully in aluminium alloys. Therefore knowledge is essential of both the physical and mechanical properties of the material and the possibilities of the cross-sectional shape provided...

Structural adhesive bonded joints in engineering - Process of drafting design rules for aluminium application

This paper deals with adhesive bonded joints used in aluminium structures. There are strong

Drafting design rules for adhesive joints in thin-gauge steel sheeting

This paper deals with adhesive bonded joints in thin-gauge steel sheeting used for building applications. It is noticed that available design codes do not give any guidelines for this type orf joints. For this reason TNO and Delft University of Technology have started the project 'Adhesive joints in thin-gauge steel sheetings', to draw up design...

Ontwerpen en berekenen van aluminium constructies

De toepassing van aluminium in dragende constructies is succesvol, indien de gunstige eigenschappen van aluminium goed worden benut en er voor de minder gunstige eigenschappen een adequate constructieve oplossing wordt geboden. De toepassingsmogelijkheden van aluminium zijn de laatste jaren aanzienlijk toegenomen en naar verwachting zal het...

Vermoeiing van aluminium constructies

De laatste decennia is de kennis van het gedrag van statisch belaste aluminiumconstructies enorm toegenomen, hetgeen wordt geïllustreerd door vele, recent verschenen normen en richtlijnen, waar onder NEN 6710- TGB Aluminium. Daarentegen is de kennis over de levensduur van op vermoeiing belaste aluminiumconstructies beperkt en zijn er nauwelijks...

Eureka 269 - Fatigue tests on small scale bonded joints overview of test results and statistical analysis

This report gives an overview of the fatigue test results on adhesive bonded joints in strips. The fatigue tests were carried out by 4 laboratories and this report provides the test results and a statistical analysis.

Eureka 269 - Fatigue on bolded specimens. Overview of test results and qualitative analysis

In this report the results of fatigue tests carried out by TNO and TWI on friction grip bolted joints made from aluminium 6061 alloy are interpreted. Attention is given to the following parameters: strip or beam specimen; bolt configuration; plate thickness; failure mode. Qualitative conclusions are made and also a suggestion for a design curve...

Inventory of fatigue behaviour of friction grip bolted connections in aluminium structures

This report gives the basic information from the literature with regard to the fatigue behaviour of friction grip bolted connections in aluminium structures. The papers reviewed in this report are taken from document EU269-TCC3- 09, the reference list from the Dutch partner.
