Fibre reinforced polymeric composites bonded with epoxy adhesives often fail ungraciously, manifesting fibre-tear failure due to the edge peel stresses. This research work proposes phenol formaldehyde-based hyperelastic adhesive (AF32), as a compliant adhesive for tailoring the single lap joints con...
