ABSTRACT A comprehensive literature review on the existing analytical models based on
different material and geometry behaviors for both single and double-lap joints (as well as …

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) matrix materials are quickly being investigated for
application in concrete construction repair, reinforcement, and refurbishment. The …

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 …

Finite element analysis (FEA) and continuum mechanics techniques have been used to
model the thermal residual stress distribution in bonded joints and assess the suitability of …

Adhesively bonded joints are widely used due to their ease of fabrication, maintenance and
controllable stress distribution in the overlap region. There are extensive investigations in …

In this paper, a novel mathematical procedure is proposed which allows for determination of
stresses in a defected adhesively bonded single lap tubular joint under torsion. It is assumed …

The effects of functionally graded adhesive on failures in socket joint of laminated FRP
composite tubes are analyzed in the present research. Various types of failures in the socket …

Thermal effects on welded joints between fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (FRTPs) and
metals have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Because FRTPs use …

To apply adhesive to structure combining, the adhesive should be cured at lower
temperature directed to decrease residual stress in the interface between adhesive and …

This paper presents an improved piecewise shear-lag model that enhances the
understanding of deformation and fracture behavior in adhesively bonded tubular …
