Abstract:Since composite materials have high specific strength and stiffness, they are used
for many fields such as aerospace and marine structures. According to such utilities, joining method
between composites and metals must be developed. In this study, dimple treatment is carried out as
a new reinforcing method for FRP/metal co-cured joint. Dimple treatment is applied to the adhesive
surface of metal so that resin of FRP permeates into dimples and the strength of joints increases. It
is revealed that dimple treatme… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
