Saeedifar, M. (author), Saleh, M. (author), Krairi, Anouar (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)The present study proposes a comprehensive integrity assessment approach for a full-scale adhesively-bonded bi-material joint for maritime applications. The joint represents a cross-section of the bond-line connection of a ship with a steel hull and a sandwich composite superstructure. The full-scale joint consists of a sandwich composite...journal article 2023

Saeedifar, M. (author), Saleh, M. (author), Nijhuis, Peter (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)This study is devoted to the use of acoustic emission technique for a comprehensive damage assessment, that is, damage detection, localization, and classification, of an aeronautical metal-to-composite bonded panel. The structure comprised a titanium panel adhesively bonded to carbon fiber–reinforced plastic omega stringers. The panel contained...journal article 2021

Jaiswal, Pankaj R (author), Kumar, R Iyer (author), Saeedifar, M. (author), Saleh, M. (author), Luyckx, Geert (author), Waele, W De (author)The increasing interest for the application of adhesive joints in naval superstructures motivates researchers to gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanical behaviour and failure mechanisms of these joints. This work reports on an experimental study of the deformation behaviour and damage evolution of a full-scale multi-material joint using...journal article 2020

Saeedifar, M. (author), Saleh, M. (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)The aim of the present study is to characterize the damage in bi-material steel-to-composite double-lap adhesively-bonded joints using Acoustic Emission (AE). Two different structural adhesives, a ductile (Methacrylate-based) and brittle (Epoxy-based), were used to bond CFRP skins to a steel core. The fabricated joints were loaded in tension...journal article 2019
