Experimental and numerical investigation of mechanical and thermal residual strains in adhesively bonded joints

This paper describes an investigation of residual and mechanical strains in aluminium/aluminium (Al/Al) and aluminium/carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (Al/CFRP) adhesively bonded double-lap joints. Residual strains were measured inside the adherends by means of neutron diffraction (ND) and modelled u...
