verification of glued connection by finite elements

[cavva78]

Hello,

I have to perform a verification of a glued connection between titanium and bronze parts. The available glue data are tensile, shear (wrt temperature), compressive and flexural strength. I have a bronze bellows with 8 bar pressure inside glued on a titanium structure, then I have to superimpose a thermal load of 130°C. Can anyone give me any advice on how to properly model this case in NX.Nastran/FEMAP extracting the correct results?

Thanks.

Marco

Hi, maybe this site could give you the correct way to model the bonding between the two parts:
