Abstract text:
An experimental investigation regarding the behaviour of composite materials joints manufactured from glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) is presented. The study is concerned with analysing several types of single and double lap joints: adhesively bonded connection; mechanical joints with one, two and four steel bolts; hybrid joints – combined adhesively bonded and mechanical methods; steel bolts mechanical connections with aluminium inserts consolidated holes. Behaviour of composite materials joints, failure modes, failure strength and bearing strength may be determined and observed with this experimental configuration.
Key Words:
bolted joints; adhesively bonded joints; hybrid joints; composites.
