TL;DR: In this paper, double lap shear (DLS) coupon tests were conducted at different extension rates and temperatures to study the joint behaviors of adhesively bonded DLS joints, and the results showed that at high temperature, the adhesive joint exhibits a greater degree of strain rate sensitivity with a perceptible fall in the joint strength.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of an aluminium-intensive small car platform for desirable front impact safety performance is examined, and a space frame-type architecture comprised of extruded aluminium members with welded joints is considered for inherent structural rigidity, and low investment in terms of tooling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of modified nanoclay and compatibilizer on viscoelastic properties of nano-composites were investigated in two steps; compounding of a master batch of nanocomlay, polypropylene and m-TMI-g-PP in a torque rheometer and blending of this master-batch with poly-propylene in a twin-screw extruder in the specific proportions to yield 3-9% of the nano-layer by weight in the composite.

TL;DR: In this article, coupon specimens extracted from jute-polyester laminates fabricated by the hand layup method combined with compression molding are subjected to tensile, compression and flexural tests in a UTM.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the implicit ABAQUS solver to simulate the nonlinear mechanical behavior of double lap shear joints for variable extension rates and temperatures using the shell-solid model of a DLS joint.
