In the framework of the Cost Action CERTBOND (Reliable roadmap for certification of
bonded primary structures), a wide group of researchers from 27 European Countries have …

The use of adhesive joints has gathered increasing interest in recent years due to their
advantages over conventional bonding techniques, namely lighter structures and decreased …

Adhesives have been used for thousands of years, but until 100 years ago, the vast majority
was from natural products such as bones, skins, fish, milk, and plants. Since about 1900 …

This book brings value to anyone working with or designing natural fiber composite
structures. It helps readers understand the value these materials can add to projects, how to …

ABSTRACT A comprehensive literature review on the existing analytical models based on
different material and geometry behaviors for both single and double-lap joints (as well as …

Adhesive bonding is increasingly being considered by engineers for load-bearing joints to
complement, or supplement, traditional mechanical fasteners for a large variety of structural …

Adhesively bonded joints are an alternative structural technique to welded, bolted or riveted
joints, presenting better load transfer and stress distributions. Most analytical formulations for …

Adhesively-bonded joints provide many advantages over conventional mechanical
fasteners and are increasingly receiving attention as an alternative to mechanical joints in …

This work deals with an experimental investigation on the effect of mechanical surface
treatments of adhesive bonded joints. The behaviour of an adhesively bonded joint can be …

Adhesive bonding of overlap** coaxial tubes of either conventional or composite
materials is a joining solution often encountered in engineering structures. This paper …
