The problem of the "Free Transverse Vibrations of Orthotropic Composite Mindlin Plates or Panels with a Non-Centrally Bonded Symmetric Lap Joint (or Symmetric Doubler Joint)" is theoretically analyzed and solved with some numerical results. The "Bonded Joint" system is composed of two dissimilar, orthotropic plate "adherends" non-centrally bonded and connected by a dissimilar, orthotropic "doubler" plate through a very thin and elastic adhesive layer. The "adherends" and the single "doubler" are taken into account as the "Mindlin Plates" with the transverse shear deformations and the transverse and the rotary moments of inertia. The adhesive layer is considered as a linearly elastic continuum with the transverse normal and shear stresses. The damping effects are neglected. The dynamic equations of the plate "adherends", the "doubler" plate and the adhesive layer in combination with the stress resultant-displacement expressions, after some algebraic manipulations, are finally reduced to a set of the "Governing System of the First Order Ordinary Differential Equations" in matrix form in terms of the "state vectors" of the problem. The aforementioned set of the "Governing Equations" is integrated by means of the "Modified Transfer Matrix Method (MTMM) (with Interpolation Polynomials)". Several mode shapes with their corresponding natural frequencies are presented for the "hard" and the "soft" adhesive cases. It was found that there are significant differences in mode shapes and natural frequencies corresponding to the "hard" and the "soft" adhesive cases. Additionally, some parametric studies such as the effects of the "Bonded Joint Length Ratio" and the "Bonded Joint Position Ratio" on the natural frequencies are included in this first study.

In this present study, the “Free Bending Vibrations of a Centrally Bonded Symmetric Double Lap Joint (or Symmetric Double Doubler Joint) with a Gap in Mindlin Plates or Panels” are theoretically analyzed and are numerically solved in some detail. The “plate adherends” and the upper and lower “doubler plates” of the “Bonded Joint” system are considered as dissimilar, orthotropic “Mindlin Plates” joined through the dissimilar upper and lower very thin adhesive layers. There is a symmetrically and centrally located “Gap” between the “plate adherends” of the joint system. In the “adherends” and the “doublers” of the “Bonded Joint” assembly, the transverse shear deformations and the transverse and rotary moments of inertia are included in the analysis. The relatively very thin adhesive layers are assumed to be linearly elastic continua with transverse normal and shear stresses. The “damping effects” in the entire “Bonded Joint” system are neglected. The sets of the dynamic “Mindlin Plate” equations of the “plate adherends”, the “double doubler plates” and the thin adhesive layers are combined together with the orthotropic stress resultant-displacement expressions in a “special form”. This system of equations, after some further manipulations, is eventually reduced to a set of the “Governing System of the First Order Ordinary Differential Equations” in terms of the “state vectors” of the problem. Hence, the final set of the aforementioned “Governing Systems of Equations” together with the “Continuity Conditions” and the “Boundary conditions” facilitate the present solution procedure. This is the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method (MTMM) (with Interpolation Polynomials). The present theoretical formulation and the method of solution are applied to a typical “Bonded Symmetric Double Lap Joint (or Symmetric Double Doubler Joint) with a Gap”. The effects of the relatively stiff (or “hard”) and the relatively flexible (or “soft”) adhesive properties, on the natural frequencies and mode shapes are considered in detail. The very interesting mode shapes with their dimensionless natural frequencies are presented for various sets of boundary conditions. Also, several parametric studies of the dimensionless natural frequencies of the entire system are graphically presented. From the numerical results obtained, some important conclusions are drawn for the “Bonded Joint System” studied here.

This study is concerned with the “Free Asymmetric Vibrations of Composite Full Circular Cylindrical Shells Stiffened by a Bonded Central Shell Segment.” The base shell is made of an orthotropic “full” circular cylindrical shell reinforced and/or stiffened by an adhesively bonded dissimilar, orthotropic “full” circular cylindrical shell segment. The stiffening shell segment is located at the mid-center of the composite system. The theoretical analysis is based on the “Timoshenko-Mindlin-(and Reissner) Shell Theory” which is a “First Order Shear Deformation Shell Theory (FSDST).” Thus, in both “base (or lower) shell” and in the “upper shell” segment, the transverse shear deformations and the extensional, translational and the rotary moments of inertia are taken into account in the formulation. In the very thin and linearly elastic adhesive layer, the transverse normal and shear stresses are accounted for. The sets of the dynamic equations, stress-resultant-displacement equations for both shells and the in-between adhesive layer are combined and manipulated and are finally reduced into a ”Governing System of the First Order Ordinary Differential Equations” in the “state-vector” form. This system is integrated by the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method (with Chebyshev Polynomials).” Some asymmetric mode shapes and the corresponding natural frequencies showing the effect of the “hard” and the “soft” adhesive cases are presented. Also, the parametric study of the “overlap length” (or the bonded joint length) on the natural frequencies in several modes is considered and plotted.

The performance of joint structure is an important aspect of composite material design. In this study, we examined the compression shear bearing capacity of the adhesively bonded single-lap joint structure of high-temperature-resistant composite materials (C/C composite materials). The test pieces were produced in accordance with the appropriate ASTM C1292 standard, which were used for the compression shear test. The failure morphology of the layer was observed by a digital microscopic system and scanning electron microscope. The experimental result shows that the load on the test piece increased nonlinearly until the failure occurred, and most of the adhesive layer exhibited cohesive failures at three temperature points (400, 600, and 800 °C), while the interface failures occurred in a small part of the adhesive layer. A numerical analysis model was established using ABAQUS finite element software. The simulation results were compared with the test results to verify the correctness of the model. On the basis of correctness of the model verified by comparing the simulation results and the test results, the influences of temperature and overlapped length on the joint compression shear performance were studied through the validated simulation method. Numerical results showed that the ultimate load of the joint decreased with increases in temperature and that the distribution trends of the shear stresses in the overlapped length direction were substantially the same for joints of different overlapped lengths.

This paper describes some finite element combinations to analyse the mechanical behaviour of bonded joints. In finite element models five layers of solid elements were used across the adhesive layer in order to increase the accuracy of the results. The finite elements were refined gradually in steps from adherends to adhesive layer. In these models, most of the adherends and adhesive were modeled using solid brick elements but some solid triangular prism elements were used for a smooth transition. Comparisons are performed between different types of first-order element combinations in order to find a suitable model to predict the mechanical behaviour of adhesively bonded joints.

Strengthening structural concrete, steel or wooden elements with reinforcement tapes is currently a popular method of extending the durability of buildings. In the glued joint Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) tape-concrete substrate, the most critical element is the adhesive layer connecting both materials. The glued joint participates in the transfer of stresses between the reinforced element and the reinforcement tape. Among the numerous analyses of this type of joint, the work resulting from the action of shear stresses (shearing) is considered most frequently, which also results from the originally developed computational models emerging with the development of research on the processes of adhesive effectiveness. The subsequent theories considered the share of other stresses, which is also related to the complex nature of the phenomenon of glue adhesion on various surfaces. Research shows the possibility of modifying the adhesion of the glue by altering its composition and the target surface of application. The study contains the results of research on the possibility of changing the adhesion of the glue to a concrete surface prepared by grinding and sandblasting. The selected epoxy resin has been modified by using the additives of microsilica and carbon nanotubes. Effective mixing of ingredients was achieved due to the use of sonication in the mixing process. Then, the adhesives prepared in this way were used to stick fragments of CFRP tape to concrete surfaces: cleaned, ground and sandblasted. A modified version of the pull-off test was used to determine the effectiveness of adhesion the CFRP tapes to concrete. The results are the final stage summarizing a series of studies including other parameters affecting the bonding efficiency and durability of adhesive bonds.
