Abstract:In this study, a structural adhesive was used to bond unidirectional prepreg and fiber fabric in a single lap joint. The mechanical properties of the structural adhesive were investigated under room temperature dry state (RTD) and elevated temperature wet state (ETW, 71℃/85% RH), and different adhesive layer thicknesses (0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm). The fracture surfaces of the bonded joints were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and finite element simulations were conducted to observe… Show more
