Enhancing strength and stiffness of composite joint through co-cure technique

The co-cure manufacturing process effectively merges the various composites parts in wings, fuselage, and frames in aerospace applications. The current study investigates the combined effects of co-cure manufacturing technique and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforcement on shear strength and fundamental natural frequency of single lap joints (SLJs). In continuation, results were compared with SLJs fabricated through co-bonding and...
