Graphene nanoparticle effect on flexural and shear behaviors of adhesively bonded single lap joints of GFRP composites

Adhesive bonded joints of fiber-reinforced polymer structural components provide countless benefits; these include great strength and large hardness-to-weight ratios, good fatigue and corrosion resistance, and high energy absorption capability, all of which make them more influential in comparison with other types of fasteners. In this study, the effect of various contents of graphene nanoparticle (GNP) in the epoxy adhesive on the shear and...
