... Test methods, data acquisition, and data reduction techniques used to generate design properties for skin-to-spar composite bonded joints that are reinforced using shaped 3-D textiles are presented. These methods represent the culmination of lessons learned after execution of government Small...

... gradient at the extremities of the joint accelerates the water diffusion and then the failure of specimens. A simple logarithmic relationship between the specimen life time and the applied load makes easy the life prediction. glass polyester composites stress gradient aging bonded joints epoxy...
