Adhesively bonded joints in composite materials: An overview

M. D. Banea, Lucas F. M. da Silva · 8 Dec 2008

A review of the investigations that have been made on adhesively bonded joints of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite structures (single skin and sandwich construction) is presented. The effects of surface preparation, joint configuration, adhesive properties, and environmental factors on the joint behaviour are described briefly for adhesively bonded FRP composite structures. The analytical and numerical…

Magnetorheological fluid devices: Principles, characteristics and applications in mechanical engineering

Juan Wang, Guang Meng · 1 Jul 2001

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are a class of new intelligent materials whose rheological characteristics change rapidly and can be controlled easily in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The devices based on MR fluids, including dampers, brakes, clutches, polishing devices and hydraulic valves, etc., have a very promising potential future; some of them have been…

A review on the properties of natural fibres and its bio-composites: Effect of alkali treatment

Parul Sahu, MK Gupta · 12 Sep 2019

Due to the dominating advantages of natural fibres such as biodegradability, eco-friendliness, nominal cost, low density and high specific strength, they are being used opposite to synthetic fibres in many industrial applications. Despite many advantages, these fibres face some limitations such as higher moisture uptake, quality variations, low thermal stability, and poor compatibility with polymeric…

A new theory for laminated composite plates

Moussa Karama, Kamran Afaq, Sébastien Mistou · 13 Feb 2009

This work presents a new multilayered laminated composite structure model to predict the mechanical behaviour of multilayered laminated composite structures. This new multilayered structure model describes the shear stress distribution model through the thickness respecting free boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces by an exponential function. This model has the same order of…

A review on the temperature and moisture degradation of adhesive joints

G. Viana, M. Costa, M. D. Banea et al. · 28 Sep 2016

Despite offering very attractive advantages over traditional joining methods, one of the setbacks of adhesive bonding is its long-term strength in aggressive environments, such as environments with high moisture and extreme temperatures. With the rise of new lightweight materials and their recent use in everyday vehicles, transportation industries have been very interested in determining the…
