Arouche, M.M. (author), Saleh, M. (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), De Barros, S.R. (author)This work investigates the effect of long-term environmental exposure on the performance of composite-to-metal bonded joints. Specimens are manufactured using a carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) co-bonded to a steel member with epoxy adhesive and aged in a salt spray chamber. The mixed-mode fracture behavior of the non-aged and aged...journal article 2021

Moreira Arouche, M. (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), de Barros, Silvio (author)In this work, the influence of a layer of glass fiber mat (GFM) inserted in a bi-material bonded joint interface is investigated as a toughening mechanism to improve the fracture performance of bonded structures. Composite-to-metal bonded specimens were manufactured by hand lay-up using two different consolidation processes: at room pressure...journal article 2021
