The mechanical performance of H-shaped NCF adhesively bonded joints

Submitted by Konstantinos I… on

Adhesive bonding is contemplated as an alternative method to mechanical fastening for joining composite aerostructures.

Ongoing research in this area is focused on the development of new bonding techniques and joining elements. In this

article, the mechanical performance of the novel noncrimp fabric (NCF) H-shaped adhesively bonded joints subjected to

tension, shear and four-point bending loading conditions was investigated by both experimental tests and numerical
