Abstract:This work deals with the optimization of process parameters for rehabilitation of the pipe through-wall hole defects using adhesive bonding. Epoxy-based nonstructural adhesive (NSA) and structural adhesive (SA) combination, precure temperature, bond length, and surface preparation were considered as the parameters. The optimization of parameters directly on pipes is an expensive and time-consuming process. Hence, stainless steel and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (SS-CFRP) composite single-strap joint was con… 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.
