Abstract

Composites scarf joints with different elastic moduli and thickness between adherends are studied and the governing differential equations are given in this paper. Adherends and adhesive stress distributions of scarf joints between stiffness imbalanced composite materials are calculated and analysed by finite difference method. The effects of stiffness ration as well as scarf angles on the adhesive stresses are discussed by examples. Some conclusions have been obtained from this work.
