Out-of-plane static loading performance of lightweight aluminum/composite FML structures for retrofitting applications: Effectiveness of bonded, bolted and hybrid bonded/bolted joining techniques under hydrothermal aging environment
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023)
This study evaluates the mechanical response for different flexural loading direction scenarios of the fiber metal laminates (FMLs), an aluminum structure retrofitted with basalt fiber-reinforced epoxy-based composites for ...
Fracture and dynamic mechanical analysis of seawater aged aluminum-BFRP hybrid adhesive joints
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022)
Adhesively bonded hybrid FRP-aluminium structures have recently become an efficient solution for marine engineering applications. However, polymer adhesives' bond performance is sensitive to the marine environment due to ...
Effect of long-term stress aging on aluminum-BFRP hybrid adhesive joint's mechanical performance: Static and dynamic loading scenarios
(Wiley, 2022)
Composite-aluminum hybrid adhesive joints represent an ideal solution for designing lightweight structures for the marine industry. However, seawater aging is a serious concern, limiting the safe service life of the joint. ...
Assessment of damage tolerance of bolted composite structures via bearing-after-impact tests
(Wiley, 2022)
Although bolted composite joints are mainly designed to resist bearing loading, dynamic loading such as low-velocity impact can also be a severe threat because of its potential to reduce joint reliability. Surprisingly, ...
Quasi-Static tensile loading performance of Bonded, Bolted, and hybrid Bonded-Bolted Carbon-to-Carbon composite Joints: Effect of recycled polystyrene nanofiber interleaving
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023)
Although hybrid bolted/bonded (HBB) joints possess each joint technique's benefits, the adhesive layer performance significantly affects the load-carrying capacity of hybrid joints. Nanofiber interleaving has become an ...
Comparative analysis of thermoplastic and thermoset adhesives performance and the influence on failure analysis in jointed elium-based composite structures
(Wiley, 2023)
The preference for thermoplastic composites over thermoset ones is steadily growing, especially in constructing resilient, lightweight, and fuel-efficient structures in industrial settings due to their recyclability and ...
Significantly improved shear, dynamic-mechanical, and mode II fracture performance of seawater aged basalt/epoxy composites: The impact of halloysite nanotube reinforcement
(Elsevier - Division Reed Elsevier India Pvt Ltd, 2021)
The primary concern of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) subjected to seawater environment is losing their initial mechanical performance since water can diffuse into the composite and deteriorates the fiber-matrix interface. ...
An experimental study on interlaminar shear strength and fracture toughness: Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites enhanced with the CaCO3 nanoparticles
(2021)
This study examines the effect of nano-CaCO3 particles on interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and fracture toughness properties for carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites. The nano-CaCO3 modified carbon fiber epoxy ...
Low-velocity impact response of halloysite nanotube reinforced glass/epoxy multi-scale composite. Part 1: Dynamic loading performance
(Wiley, 2022)
One of the biggest obstacles to fiber-reinforced composite laminates is out-of-plane dynamic loading. Specifically, low-velocity impact loading in an out-of-plane direction leads to matrix cracking, delamination, and fiber ...
An experimental evaluation on the dynamic response of water aged composite/aluminium adhesive joints: Influence of electrospun nanofibers interleaving
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022)
The impact response of adhesives is a critical design parameter considering their lifetime. Additionally, environmental effects such as water or moisture may cause to degrade of the polymer-based adhesive and shorten its ...
