Fracture mechanics-based progressive damage modelling of adhesively bonded fibre-reinforced polymer joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Moslem Shahverdi, Roohollah Sarfaraz Khabbaz, Aida Cameselle Molares

A quasi-static progressive damage model for prediction of the fracture behaviour and strength of adhesively bonded fibre-reinforced polymer joints is introduced in this paper. The model is based on the development of a mixed-mode failure criterion as a fun ...

An experimental-numerical investigation of hydrothermal response in adhesively bonded composite structures

Véronique Michaud, John Botsis, Hans Georg Limberger, Georgios Violakis, Roohollah Sarfaraz Khabbaz, Luis Pablo Canal Casado

Water absorption and thermal response of adhesive composite joints were investigated by measurements and numerical simulations. Water diffusivity, saturation, swelling, and thermal expansion of the constituent materials and the joint were obtained from gra ...

Monitoring strain gradients in adhesive composite joints by embedded fiber Bragg grating sensors

Véronique Michaud, Hans Georg Limberger, Georgios Violakis, Roohollah Sarfaraz Khabbaz

The adhesive bonding of composite materials can be applied to assemble light-weight structures for aeronautical applications. However, the application of adhesive bonds in primary load-bearing structures is limited by the lack of adequate techniques to mon ...

Variable amplitude fatigue of adhesively-bonded pultruded GFRP joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Roohollah Sarfaraz Khabbaz

The fatigue behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded GFRP joints subjected to variable amplitude loading patterns was experimentally investigated. The failure mode of the examined joints was found to be similar to that under constant amplitude loading. The ...

Modeling the constant amplitude fatigue behavior of adhesively bonded pultruded GFRP joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Roohollah Sarfaraz Khabbaz

The constant amplitude fatigue behavior of adhesively bonded pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer double-lap joints were modeled by a number of conceptually different phenomenological SN (cyclic stress vs. number of cycle) formulations. An extended dat ...

The effect of loading sequence on the fatigue behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded GFRP double-lap joints was experimentally investigated by applying different tensile and compressive block loading patterns. The observed failure modes were consistent wi ...

New load-bearing structures made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites comprise adhesively-bonded joints, which are components vulnerable to fatigue failure. These structural components are frequently subjected to complex cyclic loading histories ...

The effect of mean load on the fatigue behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded GFRP double-lap joints under constant amplitude loading was experimentally investigated. The joints were examined under nine different stress ratios (R) representing pure tensio ...
