“…The authors concluded that different damage models, tuned with experiments performed on simple joints (riveted, clinched or adhesively bonded), can be combined in a unique model to simulate effectively the failure behavior of hybrid joints. A detailed series of tests and FEA were conducted by Grant et al (Grant et al, 2009b) for clinch-bonded hybrid joints. The experimental results were compared with spot welded joints and adhesively bonded double-lap joints.…”

“…1 The use of these joints on laminated composites made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) and metallic materials put to use in the aforementioned industries has markedly risen during recent years, using different types of adhesive bonding, 2-4 types of adhesives, 5,6 and the profile of the edges of the joint. [7][8][9] The static and dynamic behaviors of adhesively bonded joints were already studied by several researchers [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] using various adhesives and adherents. In general, it was demonstrated that toughened epoxy adhesives are used when the adhesive features in the strength of entire structure.…”

The joining techniques of lightweight and strong materials in the transport industry (e.g. automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding industries) are very important for the safety of the entire structure. In these industries, when compared with other joining methods, the use of adhesively bonded joints presents unique properties such as greater strength, design flexibility, and reduction in fuel consumption, all thanks to low weight. The aim of this study was the analysis of the tensile fatigue behavior of adhesively bonded glass fiber/epoxy laminated composite single-lap joints with three different specimen types including 30, 40 and 50 mm overlap lengths. In this study, composite adherents were manufactured via vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding and were bonded using Loctite 9461 A&B toughened epoxy adhesive. The effect of a surface treatment method on the bonding strength was considered and it led to an increment of about 40%. A numerical analysis based on a finite element model was performed to predict fatigue life curve, and the predicted results showed good agreement with the experimental investigation.

“…are currently researching and experimenting with new material providing lighter and more resistant structures that allow reaching a higher speed with lower energy consumption. In this respect, the polymeric matrix composite material reinforced with carbon fiber is of great industrial interest [1][2][3][4].…”

This work analyzes the degradation of aluminum-composite adhesive joints under the action of water and motor oil. For this purpose, we have performed an accelerated ageing of the adhesive joint by immersion in water and oil. Likewise, we have evaluated the loss of mechanical properties that aging causes into adhesive joint. First, tests have been performed with bulk adhesive specimens (epoxy and polyurethane) immersed in water and motor oil during independent periods of time (1 at 128 days) in order to study the diffusion of water and motor oil into the adhesive. Second, we have evaluated the loss of mechanical properties that aging causes in the adhesive joint. Tests conclusions show that water degrades the adhesive more than motor oil. Additionally and under the action of water and motor oil, polyurethane adhesive joints retain their mechanical properties better than epoxy adhesive joints.
