    Finite element analysis was able to successfully model and predict the behavior and strength of adhesive bonded composite joints, reproducing the load-deflection response observed experimentally. The model developed a reliable way to predict how miniature composite fuselage structures absorb energy when crushed. Results from the finite element analysis closely matched experimental testing, with only a 1% difference found between the peak load and energy absorption values.

    CHAPTER 6

    CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


    This chapter presents the summary of the FEA and its correlation with the experimental tests conducted in the
    laboratory. Some recommendations are suggested for further research work.
    6.1

    Conclusions

    Concluding the main findings and results of the previously described numerical simulation and its correlation with
    experimental results, the following summary may be drawn:
    i.
    ii.

    Adhesive joint was successfully modeled by using cohesive element to predict adhesive behavior
    and strength.
    Finite element analysis using ABAQUS/Explicit is able to reproduce satisfactory the loaddeflection response to investigate the crushing behavior and the strength of adhesive bonded butt
    joint for the composite fuselage model that were observed in the experimental work.

    A reliable FEA model to predict the adhesive joint fabrication miniature composite fuselage structure under
    compression was successfully developed. FEA results pertaining to the main crushing characteristics (peak load and
    crush energy absorption) are very close to the experimental results where the discrepancy is found to be at 1%.
