Complex geometries with long fibre reinforced polymer matrix composite structures are
realised through adhesive bonding, with other composites or metals. However, they need to …

Lamb waves (LWs) are widely used to achieve structural health monitoring of aeronautic
composite structures. Composite materials are however anisotropic and LWs propagation …

A narrowband tone burst excitation is usually required in most Lamb wave inspection
techniques in order to reduce the dispersion effect and maintain mode purity, especially in …

The development of structural epoxy adhesives with the capacity to bond and de-bond on-
demand would open many opportunities for the assembly, inspection, repair, and end of life …

In this paper, analytical and numerical models have been developed to compute the stress
field and predict fracture of the aluminum/epoxy interface subjected to laser shock loading …

After detecting initial delamination damage in a hotspot region of a composite structure
monitored through a data-driven approach, the user needs to decide if there is an imminent …

Composite materials are increasingly inescapable in engineered systems in various
industrial fields, given their high strength to weight ratio for increasing autonomy, reducing …

The application of adhesively bonded joints in aerospace structural parts has increased
significantly in recent years and the general advantages of their use are well-documented …

In this article, the interlaminar tensile strength between CFRP prepregs with [0°/90°] s lay-up
was evaluated with pulse laser spallation method. Transformation functions were applied to …

This study explores the effects of laser pulse width and energy on CFRP laminates damage
in laser bond inspection technology. Three testing programs were used, including varying …
