Adhesively bonded joints in composite materials: An overview
Mariana D. Banea,L.F.M. da Silva +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the investigations that have been made on adhesively bonded joints of fiber-reinforced plastic composite structures (single skin and sandwich construction) is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
An updated review of adhesively bonded joints in composite materials
TL;DR: In this article, an updated review of adhesively bonded joints in composite materials, which covers articles published from 2009 to 2016, is presented. And the main parameters that affect the performance of bonded joints such as surface treatment, joint configuration, geometric and material parameters, failure mode etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling adhesive joints with cohesive zone models: effect of the cohesive law shape of the adhesive layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the CZM shape (triangular, exponential or trapezoidal) used to model a thin adhesive layer in single-lap adhesive joints, for an estimation of its influence on the strength prediction under different material conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bonded repair of composite aircraft structures: A review of scientific challenges and opportunities
TL;DR: In this article, the area of structural bonded repair of composites is broadly reviewed, starting from damage assessment to automation, to identify current scientific challenges and future opportunities, and the authors propose a robust, reliable and repeatable structural bond repair procedures to restore damaged composite components.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is proposed to allow the growth of discontinuities within bulk solids along an arbitrary path, by enriching degrees of freedom with special displacement functions, thus overcoming the main restriction of CZMs.
