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 …

The complex fatigue failure mechanisms render it challenging to arrive at definitive
conclusions regarding the behaviour of adhesive joints under cyclic loading. The goal of this …

Although hybrid bolted/bonded (HBB) joints possess each joint technique's benefits, the
adhesive layer performance significantly affects the load-carrying capacity of hybrid joints …

This review paper is focused on the load transfer mechanisms and mechanical behaviour of
hybrid joints that combine adhesive bonding and pre-tensioned bolts. The first part of the …

Hybrid joints have potential to improve the joint strength and efficiency compared to the
bonded or bolted joint. Several studies have been performed to understand the influence of …

Hybrid joints, combining adhesive bonding with mechanical fasteners, address the
limitations of traditional joining methods in restoring the integrity of aircraft structures. This …

Various geometric and material parameters such as adhesive thickness, adhesive overlap,
adherend thickness, and composite layup may affect the strength of the joint under quasi …

Most studies usually use load-displacement curve or post-failure analysis to understand the
mechanical behaviour of hybrid bonded-bolted (HBB) joints. While load sharing in HBB …

Hybrid joints have better tensile properties than pure bonded and bolted bolts, and are
increasingly used in the aerospace field. Tensile tests are carried out for the Hybrid …

Different adhesive bonding methods have been prominently used in aerospace applications
since the 1980s because adhesively bonded joints are regarded as an alternative to …
