Continuing interest and more developments in recent years indicated that it would be useful
to update Banea and da Silva paper entitled “Adhesively bonded joints in composite …

This study aims to analyse the annealing effect on the mechanical properties of PETG,
carbon fibre reinforced PETG (PETG+ CF) and Kevlar fibre reinforced PETG (PETG+ KF) …

The effect of adhesive thickness and adherent overlap on behavior of composite single-lap
joints (SLJ) under tensile load is studied by using a 3D finite-element model. A bilinear …

The durability of adhesive joints is potentially affected by the presence of water and thermal
shocks. Therefore, the current work intends to study the effect of hygrothermal aging and …

One of the most common loading conditions that bonded joints experience in service is
repeated impact. Despite the destructive effects of impact fatigue, the behavior of metal …

The role of sinusoid interface shape on the stress distribution and load bearing capacity of
the adhesively bonded single lap joints has been investigated numerically and …

To meet the high demand for lightweight energy-efficient and safe structures for transport
applications, a current state-of-the-art light rail vehicle structure is under development that …

This work reports a quantitative evaluation of the aging behavior of adhesively bonded joints
manufactured using a toughened epoxy adhesive applied on CFRP substrates. Low …

The experiments performed were oriented to produce and characterize a sandwich panel
with an optimized composition of cork granules, obtained from industrial by-products, and a …

Fiber-reinforced composite materials are increasingly used in oil and gas transmission, and
joints are the areas prone to failure in pipelines. Damage evolution in the adhesive joints …
