In aerospace and many types of civil infrastructure applications, the use of adhesive-bonded composite joints have been constantly increasing. In this study, fracture behaviour of adhesively bonded single lap joint (SLJ) with pre-existing damage at the interface of free edge of the top adherend and adhesive along the width of the joint is studied by strain energy release rate (SERR) approach us...

This work is the first systematic study on static behavior of adhesively-bonded Fe-SMA-to-steel joints in applications adopting iron-based Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). In order to provide a better understanding mechanical adhesively bonded joint, an experimental campaign was established, involving 24 lap-shear tests displacement-controlled loading regime. The test series includes two types Fe-SM...

The tension-tension fatigue behavior of ductile adhesively-bonded double-lap FRP joints was experimentally investigated. An acrylic adhesive, which in the rubbery state at ambient temperature, provided joint ductility. degradation characterized by cyclic energy dissipation, stiffness, creep displacement and self-generated temperature. effects elevated temperature on joints’ static tensile pure ...

Many industries such as oil, gas, aerospace, and automotive, use axisymmetric adhesively bonded single lap joints. Different materials are frequently mated using When composite adherents delaminate, the stress circulation inside adhesive layer significantly influenced. As a result, importance of considering stresses in presence considerable delamination is investigated this paper. To understand...

Adhesive bonding is increasingly being used for composite structures, especially in aerospace and automotive industries. One common joint configuration to test adhesive strength the single-lap shear joint, which has been widely studied shown produce significant normal (peeling) stresses. When stresses are capable of causing delamination before bond fails, providing inconclusive engineering data...

Adhesively bonding fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) plates have been a mainstream method for strengthening civil engineering structures. The effectiveness of is dependent on the performance adhesive layer. This study examines time-temperature viscoelasticity typical structural epoxy and develops linear viscoelastic material model that can be used numerical analysis. An accelerated test involving ...
