Abstract de conférence
Résumé : The intensive use of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Composites in aerospace is motivated by their high strength to weight ratio. However, the manufacturing of complex aeronautic structures combining metallic and composite parts requires an efficient bonding process [1]. Joints obtained through bonding with adhesives suffer from low to moderate toughness [2] and the process requires multiple steps separating the manufacturing of the composite parts and the bonding. Several strategies have been proposed to enhance the joint toughness, such as introducing a mesh or cavities in the bondline [3]. One strategy to improve the efficiency of the process is to bond the metal part to the composite panels during the curing process, without using any adhesive. On the road to the integrated bonding of hybrid metallic composite structures, the present works investigates potential toughening strategies by bonding composites via co-curing of two composites parts while relying on joint architecturing principles.
