Durability of adhesively bonded joints between pultruded GFRP adherends under hygrothermal and natural ageing

Thomas Keller, Joào Pedro Girâo Meireles de Sousa

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study about the durability of adhesively bonded joints between pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) adherends for civil engineering applications. Single lap joint (SLJ) specimens were manufacture ...

Probing the Strength and Fracture Toughness of Hard Second Phases at the Micron Scale

Andreas Mortensen, Marco Cantoni, Goran Zagar, Andreas Rossoll, Martin Guillermo Mueller, Václav Pejchal, Marta Fornabaio, Lionel Michelet

It is known that the mechanical properties of composite materials and alloys are influenced by the intrinsic mechanical properties of their reinforcements or second phases. It is however challenging to determine such local properties, given their small siz ...

Matrix chemistry optimisation of Al/Altex composites preserving both fibres and matrix alloy integrity

Philippe Buffat, Cyril Cayron, Sébastien Vaucher

The mechanical properties of continuous fibre reinforced metals (CFRMs) are known to be very sensitive to the selection and composition of the metallic matrix; for aluminium based CFRMs, commercial alloys are not suitable for this purpose. In the present s ...
