The use of adhesive joints has increased rapidly in the past decades. Driven by the growing
demand for lightweight structures, composite adherends have increased in popularity …

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 …

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 …

The main objective of this work was to develop an adhesive functionally modified in order to
have mechanical properties that vary gradually along the overlap, allowing a more uniform …

An aerospace structure is built from the assembly of structural sub-components involving
joining technologies such as welding, mechanical fastening or adhesive bonding. The …

A graded material can be defined as a material which has constituents and/or properties that
vary in one or more directions throughout the material. In a functionally graded material …

Employing a functionally graded adhesive the efficiency of adhesively bonded lap joints can
be improved significantly. However, up to now, analysis approaches for planar functionally …

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

Abstract Glued-in-rods (GiR) represent a class of joints being used in timber engineering
that are mostly used to transfer axial loads in structural members with Glass Fibre …

Bi-adhesive (or mixed-adhesive) joint is an alternative stress-reduction technique for
adhesively bonded lap joints. In this work, an experimental study was performed to assess …
