Promising born/graphite/resin composites

Lightweight composite has high specific strength and stiffness and remains effective under extreme environmental conditions. Use as engineering material is feasible because it has excellent mechanical properties and is easily produced within small tolerances on constituent volume fractions. Main benefit of composite is its improved longitudinal strength and modulus.

Improvement of adhesive-bonded structural joints

Investigation is described of methods for obtaining uniform shear stress distribution in adhesives used in double-lap bonded joints. Design rules for reducing adhesive peak shear stresses are listed. Test results of an analysis of straight-lap joint design and stepped-lap joint design are given.
