Development of a predictive model for determining mechanical properties of nano Al2O3 reinforced adhesive bonded SS304 single lap joint
Abstract: In this study, single lap joints were prepared by adding nano-additives (Al2O3) in the quantity of 3 wt % in the phenolic resin, and the overlap length was varied to observe the effect on joint engineering properties. In the experiments, a single component system of a specific grade of phenolic resin was used as a binder, and aluminum (AA8011), as well as stainless steel (SS304), was used as adherends. The …

Finite Element Analysis of Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Enabled Single Lap Joint
Abstract: This study uses finite element analysis (FEA) to examine the strength of adhesively bonded single lap joints with and without Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) added to the adhesive. Shear strength analysis is performed by applying a tensile load that generates shear stress at the overlap between the two substrates bonded with adhesive. Aluminum (Al-Al) substrates were used, and single-lap joints were prepared following ASTM standards. Specimens with identical overlap and …

Response of Sea Water Immersed GFRP Composite to Thermal Shock
Abstract: The work involves examining the effects of sea water immersion and temperature fluctuations, precisely that of up and down thermal shocks (lower to higher and vice-versa), on the glass fiber /epoxy laminated composites. These effects are studied in terms of sea water absorption, degradation in inter laminar shear strength (ILSS), alternations in the glass transition temperature (Tg) as compared to the untreated samples and finally listing up of the mode …

Effect of Process Parameters on TIG Weld-Brazing of Aluminum Alloy to Galvanized Steel
Abstract: AbstractAbility to join aluminum alloy to steel enables weight reduction of automobile bodies. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process was employed to weld-braze A8011-H14 aluminum alloy to galvanized steel in lap configuration. The influence of heat input on bead formation and joint strength was investigated. The microstructural characterization was carried out using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The chemical composition was analyzed using energy dispersive spectroscopy technique. The …
