Influence of geometrical parameters on the strength of Hybrid CFRP-aluminium tubular adhesive jointsLavalette, N. (author), Bergsma, O.K. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Tubular adhesive joints, used in truss structures to join pultruded carbon fibre-reinforced polymer members to aluminium nodes, are modelled with varying dimensions. The numerical model uses a Cohesive Zone Modelling formulation with a trapezoidal traction-separation law for the adhesive layer, and experimental tests are carried to validate...journal article 2020

Lavalette, N. (author), Bergsma, O.K. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)In the context of lightweight structure design for the transportation and robotics industries, new types of composite structures are being developed, in the form of trusses made of fiber-reinforced polymer composite members of small diameter. The main objective of this work is to study adhesive joints, bonding pultruded composite tubes inside...conference paper 2018

Lavalette, N. (author), Bergsma, O.K. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)In the context of lightweight structure design for the transportation and robotics industries, new types of composite structures are being developed, in the form of trusses made of fiber-reinforced polymer composite members of small diameter (a few millimeters thick at most). Some concepts of wound trusses can be found in the literature, but...journal article 2017
