dc.description.abstractIn the first part of this two-part paper (Part 1), the low-velocity impact (LVI) response of bolted fiber-reinforced polymer joints was investigated considering with two scenarios based on the localized impact damage as the impactor hit on the top of the bolt (ToB) and the side of the washer (SoW). Moreover, the influence of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) reinforcement of the epoxy matrix on the impact performance was also evaluated. As the second part of the research, this paper represents the effects of seawater aging on the LVI response of FRPs. For this, the composite joints were submerged in an artificial seawater environment for six months to accelerate aging. Afterward, as following the systematic experimental path exhibited in Part 1, LVI tests were conducted by dropping the impactor on ToB and SoW regions. The test results showed that the seawater aging impaired almost 30% of the composite joints' impact resistance, where HNTs reinforced multi-scale composite joints exhibited a 13% higher impact loading performance. The ToB impact scenario was considered as visually and quantitatively more detrimental than the SoW tests. The detrimental impact of seawater aging was validated by tracking the elemental evolution in the seawater environment. Based on the mechanical, morphological, and structural analyses, a novel damage mechanism was introduced to address seawater aging's progress, including the role of nanoreinforcements.en_US
