Abstract: A new tether joint structure is introduced, which utilizes finite element method (FEM) and orthogonal design method widely used in experiments to figure out how the three geometric factors (bottom circle diameter, glue height, and taper angle) exert influences on the bonding joint strength under different level conditions. The results show that all the three factors have significant effects on the bonding joint stress, of which the influence of glue height is the largest, bottom circle diameter less and taper angle the least.

Key words: tether, epoxy resin, geometry, finite element method (FEM)
