Increased lightweight design via composite sandwich structures is a promising approach
due to their exceptionally high weight-specific mechanical properties. The involved high cost …

Hybridizing carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers with natural fibers could be a solution to
prevent delamination and improve the out-of-plane properties of laminated composites …

When peeling an elastoplastic film from rigid substrates, the work of separation (WOS) lumps
the fracture energy of adhesion, ie, the work of adhesion (WOA), and the dissipation from …

The relation between the bond strength of the co-bonded thermoplastics (ABS, PC) and fiber-
reinforced thermoset polymers (polyester/glass) and the interphase morphology of a novel …

The recycling of composite materials is nowadays a major challenge as it is systematically
associated with a downcycling due to the reduction of the fiber length. However, recent …

A novel cassette-like peeling system is developed to address the limitations of current
peeling standards when evaluating bonding quality of soft-to-rigid assemblies. The system …

In this work, a new testing method for adhesive joints under tensile loading is presented.
This method comprised three pull-off tests and one peel test in one single loading step …

Interface models for triggering damage events have been extensively used in many
engineering applications due to their inherent versatility and relatively simple numerical …

Although most of the applications of adhesive joints are designed to sustain primarily shear
loads, some aircraft and maritime applications are subject mostly to peel loads, resulting in …

Das Kleben ist eine werkstoffgerechte Fügetechnologie für Faserverbundkunststoffe und
ermöglicht die Herstellung mechanisch hoch effizienter Strukturen. Eine Herausforderung ist …
