An experimental investigation of tensile residual strength of repaired composite laminates after low velocity impact (2024)
Journal Article
Damghani, M., Atkinson, G. A., Thapa, P., Joy, J., Monaghan, M., Maleki, P., & Ward, C. (2024). An experimental investigation of tensile residual strength of repaired composite laminates after low velocity impact. Thin-Walled Structures, 200, Article 111896. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tws.2024.111896

Low Velocity Impact (LVI) of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) components are common during the manufacture and in-service life of aerostructures. However, the resulting effect on structural mechanical properties has not been extensively studied...

Experimental study of bonded, bolted, and hybrid bonded-bolted single lap shear joints with woven CFRP adherends (2024)
Journal Article
Damghani, M., Saad Khan, M., & Atkinson, G. A. (2024). Experimental study of bonded, bolted, and hybrid bonded-bolted single lap shear joints with woven CFRP adherends. Composite Structures, 334, Article 117989. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2024.117989

This paper presents an extensive experimental performance study of bonded joints (BJs), only bolted joints (OBJs) and hybrid bonded-bolted joints (HJs). For each joint type, three test configurations are considered: namely, short, medium and long ove...

Effect of interlayer thickness on mechanical properties of steel/polymer/steel laminates fabricated by roll bonding technique (2024)
Journal Article
Maleki, P., Akbarzadeh, A., & Damghani, M. (2024). Effect of interlayer thickness on mechanical properties of steel/polymer/steel laminates fabricated by roll bonding technique. Global Journal of Research in Engineering, 23(4),

Nowadays, metal/polymer/metal laminates are extensively used in various industries due to their unparalleled properties. In this study, the roll bonding process was employed for lamination of low carbon steel (St14) and semi-melted thermoplastic poly...
