Abstract

The adhesive bonding approach is widely used in assembling spars, stringers, ailerons, flaps, and rudders in aircraft. This research investigated the impact of silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticle inclusion on the shear and free vibrational behaviour of adhesively bonded single lap joints (SLJ). Shear tests showed that 1.5 wt.% SiC in the epoxy resin enhanced the shear behaviour of adhesively bonded SLJ. FESEM analysis of failure surfaces revealed rougher surfaces, plastic void enlargement, and formation of shear bands in the joint region, indicating improved adhesion among GFRP adherends. SiC-incorporated SLJ had predominantly cohesive failures, while SiC-free lap joints had adhesive failures. Vibrational results confirmed that 1.5 wt.% SiC-incorporated SLJ had higher natural frequencies and better modal damping due to nanoparticle accumulation. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
