Hybrid adhesives can be developed using commercially available adhesive materials and customized to the required loading conditions. In this paper, SPABONDTM 820HTA (non-toughened) and SPABONDTM 840HTA (toughened) adhesives are hybridized by two strategies ...

A new numerically-based method suitable for determining the total strain energy release rate (SERA) involved in two-dimensional (2D) Mode I-dominated delamination under opening loads in FRP laminates is presented. The method is based on the mutual dependen ...

In the current study, a random field-based size effect model has been proposed for the longitudinal tensile strength of clear timber. Since the failure mode is brittle, the problem is basically an extreme value problem of finding the distribution of minima ...

Composite sandwich panels composed of a balsa core and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) face sheets may offer attractive applications for building slabs and bridge decks. Such composite panels may contain air-filled gaps (caused by initial defects or ...

An experimental study was performed using Iosipescu specimens to evaluate the effects of parameters such as shear plane, density and adhesive joints on the shear stiffness and strength of balsa wood panels as well as the variation of ductility with respect ...

The load-bearing performance of sandwich bridge decks comprising a balsa core and fiber-reinforced polymer composite face sheets exposed to fire is a main concern regarding the application of these deck systems. In order to obtain the thermal responses of ...

A new physically based model for the simulation of the imaginary part of the shear modulus-temperature (G ''-T) curve of thermosets is introduced in this paper. The model is based on the modification of the G ''-T equation used for thermoplastic polymers v ...

This paper investigates the effects of degassing, curing and post-curing conditions on the tensile quasi-static and fatigue behavior of a cold-curing structural epoxy adhesive. Quasi-static experiments performed at standardized and high displacement rates ...

A probabilistic model for estimating the fatigue life of composite laminates based on the mean value and standard deviation of the fatigue life is introduced here for predicting the distribution of fatigue life at any stress level for a constant stress rat ...

This paper investigates the influence of thermal lag on the glass transition temperature of polymers measured under different heating rates during dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The E-modulus-temperature curves of a two-component epoxy adhesive and a p ...

The two-dimensional (2D) delamination growth in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates with in-plane isotropy under Mode I loading condition was numerically investigated using finite element analyses. Two sizes of plate models were developed, focusing on ...

The two-dimensional (2D) delamination growth in composite laminates under the Mode-II fracture condition was experimentally investigated using a novel set-up. Circular plate specimens with a centrally embedded pre-crack of two sizes were semi-clamped along ...

This work examines the crack-arresting capability of PEI and PVDF thermoplastic interlayers in short-glass fiber modified and core-shell rubber toughened epoxy materials under mode-I fracture loading. Experimental results show that the initial crack can be ...

Angle-ply (±45)2S glass/epoxy composite specimens have been subjected to pure creep and tension-tension constant amplitude fatigue loading interrupted at max by creep intervals lasting for 2 or 48 hours in order to examine the effects of creep loading on ...

Fatigue of structural adhesives has been investigated through joints and a little number of works investigate bulk adhesive behaviour itself. Aerospace and automotive engineering focuses more on joint configuration studies, which are correlated with practi ...

This work investigated the evolution of the non-uniform distribution of Mode-I strain energy release rate (SERR) along a straight pre-crack front of double cantilever beams (DCB), caused by the anticlastic deformation and the longitudinal free-edge effects ...

This paper presents a biomechanical study of stems of two liana species, Clematis vitalba and Vitis vinifera, investigates the mechanical performance of these two liana species and attempts to enhance the understanding of structure-function relationships. ...

A two-dimensional analytical stress distribution model taking into account the effects of large deformation, bending-tension coupling and interfacial compliance on the quasi-static behavior of unbalanced FRP composite single-lap joints (SLJs) under tension ...

In this article, the manufacturing and toughening effects on the material properties of epoxy adhesives used in wind tur-bine rotor blades are presented. Different adhesive materi-als are developed by combining SPABONDTM 820HTA (non-toughened) and SPABONDT ...

The effect of physical aging and continuation of curing on the physical and mechanical properties of a commercial cold-curing structural epoxy adhesive used in bridge construction has been investigated during the first year. Since adhesive bridge joints ar ...
