Adhesives are used for attaching structures to various spacers such as tubular and scarf joints to replace the traditional joining methods of welding, brazing, soldering, etc. Many of the unique features associated with adhesives are low manufacturing cost, long component life, and lightweight. Accordingly, a considerable amount of study has been carried out and is still underway to develop. The main objective of this study is to investigate the response of the scarf joints when exposed to a harmonic load. The finite element method (FEM) using ANSYS is availed to study and analysis the natural frequencies, mode shape, and frequency response. Additionally, the influence of the adhesion angle is examined.
