Abstract

The behaviour of aluminium alloy T-stub joint is examined in this paper. The study is developed by means of a refined F.E.M. simulation analysis carried out with the non-linear code ABAQUS and accurately calibrated on the basis of existing experimental results. The main aim of the research is to investigate the influence of all relevant parameters on joint behaviour. All the possible collapse mechanisms have been highlighted and evaluated with regard to the geometrical and mechanical features of the joint. The analysis has shown that such mechanisms cannot be defined as clearly as for steel joints, owing to a more gradual transition observed between each other. As compared to the corresponding steel joints, a stronger influence of some parameters, namely the bolt strength, the alloy hardening features, the effect of heat affected zones (HAZ), has been also put into evidence.
