Continuing interest and more developments in recent years indicated that it would be useful
to update Banea and da Silva paper entitled “Adhesively bonded joints in composite …

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 …

Adhesively-bonded joints are extensively used in several fields of engineering. Cohesive
Zone Models (CZM) have been used for the strength prediction of adhesive joints, as an add …

Composites have been used extensively in various engineering applications including
automotive, aerospace, and building industries. Hybrid composites made from two or more …

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 …

Crack initiation in brittle materials is not covered by classical fracture mechanics that deals
only with the growth of pre-existing cracks. In order to overcome this deficiency, the Finite …

One parameter that influences the adhesively bonded joints performance is the adhesive
layer thickness. Hence, its effect has to be investigated experimentally and should be taken …

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 …

Adhesive bonding is used to fabricate structures of complex shape that could not be
manufactured in one piece. In many high performance structures, joints between composite …

The tensile performance of adhesively bonded CFRP joints has been investigated
experimentally. In this study, overlap length, adherend thickness, adherend width and scarf …
