Abstract

A review of the investigations that have been made on adhesively bonded joints of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite structures (single skin and sandwich construction) is presented. The effects of surface preparation, joint configuration, adhesive properties, and environmental factors on the joint behaviour are described briefly for adhesively bonded FRP composite structures. The analytical and numerical methods of stress analysis required before failure prediction are discussed. The numerical approaches cover both linear and non-linear models. Several methods that have been used to predict failure in bonded joints are described. There is no general agreement about the method that should be used to…
