Offshore wind turbine blades (OWTBs) serve in harsh environments, such as high
temperature, high humidity, salt fog, etc., and the various environmental stresses will have …

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) combine characteristics of polymers and fibers to obtain a
material with high mechanical strength and stiffness together with low specific mass and …

The impact response of adhesives is a critical design parameter considering their lifetime.
Additionally, environmental effects such as water or moisture may cause to degrade of the …

In this work, the characteristics of the lap shear joints of MWCNT-epoxy adhesive on mild
steel adherend are investigated. In this paper, multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are …

The durability of adhesive joints is potentially affected by the presence of water and thermal
shocks. Therefore, the current work intends to study the effect of hygrothermal aging and …

Polymer materials and adhesively bonded metal joints are subjected to different harsh
environments, resulting in degradation in their structural and mechanical properties. The …

Adhesive joints in the aeronautical sector are exposed to hostile environments, which may
combine different temperatures and/or moisture conditions. Both subjects are conveniently …

Characteristics of the lap joints of mechanically and chemically treated faying surface of
dissimilar metals (Mild Steel and Aluminium) prepared by using UDM processed TiO 2 …

Impact response of adhesive joints has received limited attention compared to quasi-static
loading. On the other hand, there are very few studies combining moisture and its effect on …

In the field of automotive parts, bonded joints are finding more and more applications. One of
the main advantages of these joints is their non-destructive bonding. Due to them being …
