On the influence of overlap topology on the tensile strength of composite bonded joints: Single overlap versus overlap stacking

The goal of this study is to explore new topologies for adhesively bonded composite overlap joints in order to improve their strength under tensile loading. Multiple stacked overlaps, also referred as finger joints, are compared with single overlap topologies. The quasi-static tensile behaviour of single lap joints with two overlap lengths 12...

On the influence of overlap topology on tensile strength of composite bonded joints: A multistacking design

The goal of this study is to investigate new designs of composite bonded joints in order to improve their strength under tensile loading. Multiple stacked overlaps are compared with single overlap designs. The concept of multiple stacking is well known as ply-interleaving technique for co-curing dissimilar materials. For a secondary bonding...
