Abstract: | In this study, three-dimensional free vibration and stress analyses of an adhesively bonded functionally graded single lap joint were carried. The effects of the adhesive material properties, such as modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio and density were found to be negligible on the first ten natural frequencies and mode shapes of the adhesive joint. Both the finite element method and the back-propagation artificial neural network (ANN) method were used to investigate the effects of the geometrical parameters, such as overlap length, plate thickness and adhesive thickness; and the material composition variation through the plate thickness on the natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal strain energy of the adhesive joint. The suitable ANN models were trained successfully using a series of free vibration and stress analyses for various random geometrical parameters and compositional gradient exponents. The ANN models showed that the support length, the plate thickness and the compositional gradient exponent played important role on the natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal strain energies of the adhesive joint whereas the adhesive thickness had a minor effect. In addition, the optimal joint dimensions and compositional gradient exponent were determined using genetic algorithm and ANN models so that the maximum natural frequency and the minimum modal strain energy conditions are satisfied for each natural frequency of the adhesively bonded functionally graded single lap joint. |
