Cohesive Modeling of the Deformation and Fracture of Weldbonded Joints M. N. Cavalli, M.D. Thouless and Q.D. Yang Mechanical Engineering Department Materials Science and Engineering Department University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI Rockwell Scientific Company Thousand Oaks, CA Abstract In previous work, cohesive-zone models have been developed separately for the analysis of adhesively-bonded join...

This paper presents new analytical model of asymmetric mixed-mode bending (MMB) specimen of adhesively bonded pultruded GFRP joints. An easily applicable relationship for the calculation of the strain energy release rate of the asymmetric MMB specimens is proposed based on the beam theory. The model is capable to analyze stacking sequence as well as various crack propagation paths. In the paper...

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 64(2): 473–479. In this paper the mechanical behaviour of structural two-component epoxy adhesives in T-joints is experimentally investigated. The aim of this study is to analyse t...

This study presents findings for the strength and failure mechanism of a 3D-printed Continuous Carbon Fibre reinforced Onyx (CCF/Onyx) Thermo-Plastic Composite Fastener (TPCF) single lap-joint (SLJ) made fibre/polymer composite by TPCF. The was carried out numerical analysis experiment methods including test sample design, manufacturing process mechanical test. fasteners were manufactured teste...

Research on the use of CFRP materials for retrofit and strengthening of steel bridges and structures has increased in recent years. In order to implement these types of strengthening systems to longer span members, it is important to establish an effective method to splice adjacent lengths of CFRP laminates. This paper describes an experimental program to investigate the bond behavior of carbon...

Abstract Weight reduction and improved strength are two common engineering goals in the joining sector to benefit transport, aerospace, nuclear industries amongst others. Here, this paper, we show that suitable addition of carbon nanomaterials a tin-based solder material matrix (C-Solder® supplied by Cametics Ltd.) results two-fold soldered composite joints. Single-lap shear joint experiments w...
