p.s I put a clearance of 0.03 for the position constraints: only in this way I managed to have tie constraints between the two couple of bonded surfaces.
Thank you rstupplebeen for your answer.
I've tried to do as you suggested, but it seems that the loads is not transferred through the different bonded layers. In fact both the bonded plates (the adhesive and the steel plate) have a nearly to zero stress.
I've tried also to create different...
Dear All,
I'd need to model the behavior of a part of a ship deck structure on which is bonded a steel plate with an adhesive epoxy compound. In first approximation I would like to represent a perfect bond, in order to get the stress distribution on the structure without caring about debonding...
