Bending strength of single-lap adhesive joints under hygrothermal aging combined with cyclic thermal shocks

Adhesive joints in the aeronautical sector are exposed to hostile environments, which may combine different temperatures and/or moisture conditions. Both subjects are conveniently reported in the open literature, but when they act together there is no consolidated knowledge about their effect on the mechanical strength of adhesive joints. Therefore, this work will study the effect of hygrothermal aging combined with cyclic thermal shocks on the...
