In this paper we present an experimental study on the behaviour of samples concerning double lap joints made of glass fibre-reinforced polymer composite (GFRP). According to a multistep displacement/force control procedure, a data driven approach is performed with the aim of investigating the behaviuor of adhesive joints between GFRP profiles at service conditions focusing on the non-linearity of the interfacial damage as the number of cycles increases. The present analysis has been performed regardless of the consideration of material/geometric non-linearities, which affect, instead, the failure load or the buckling limit. The final results provide a database for sketching a predictive rule to be used for a direct evaluation of the loss of stiffness of the joint.

Abstract
In this paper we present an experimental study on the behaviour of samples concerning double lap joints made of glass fibre-reinforced polymer composite (GFRP). According to a multistep displacement/force control procedure, a data driven approach is performed with the aim of investigating the behaviuor of adhesive joints between GFRP profiles at service conditions focusing on the non-linearity of the interfacial damage as the number of cycles increases. The present analysis has been performed regardless of the consideration of material/geometric non-linearities, which affect, instead, the failure load or the buckling limit. The final results provide a database for sketching a predictive rule to be used for a direct evaluation of the loss of stiffness of the joint.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
