Low-velocity impact and bending response of graphene nanoparticle-reinforced adhesively bonded double strap joints

The low-velocity impact and bending performance of adhesive joints are critically important for their reliable use in multiple industrial applications. Enhancements of adhesive joints’ mechanical properties are significantly valuable for the long-term safe use and overall life of structural components. This study investigated the low-velocity impact and bending properties of double strap joints (DSJs) reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets...
