Abstract:Glass fiber-reinforced composites are commonly employed as structural materials in many fields. In addition, glass fiber-reinforced composites are frequently used with metals, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industry. In this context, the tensile strengths of simple and hybrid single-lap joints having similar (i.e., aluminum/aluminum and composite/composite) and dissimilar (i.e., aluminum/composite) plates were investigated experimentally in this study. At this point, 6061 aluminum alloy and E-gla… 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.
