An investigation of hygrothermal effects on adhesive materials and double lap shear joints of CFRP composite laminates

This paper was aimed to investigate the hygrothermal effects on the mechanical behavior of the double lap shear joints of Carbon/Epoxy composite laminates, which were bonded using epoxy adhesive film SY14. First, experimental method was used to evaluate the hygrothermal dependent properties of the adhesive and the static response of composite laminate double lap joints at various environment conditions. The specimens were grouped into room...
