Ph.D. (Engg): Effect of Surface Roughness on Mechanical Strength of Adhesively Bonded CFRP Joints – Experimental and Numerical Studies
STC Seminar Hall, Dept. of Aerospace EngineeringThis dissertation focuses on surface preparation and its effect on the shear strength of adhesively bonded Single Lap Joints (SLJs) in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), their fracture properties, and the associated Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) parameters. The surface preparation was carried out using different grades of emery paper so that the interfaces of different roughness […]
