Solid riveting is the most widely used joining technique in aircraft assembly, and the current
key problems affecting practical application and reliable lifting are concentrated on static …

This paper reviews the reported literature on dissimilar (non-matched adherend) adhesively
bonded joints (ABJs), currently used bonding processes, and the mechanisms by which …

This paper reports an experimental investigation into mechanical behaviors and failure
mechanisms of different joint methods for dissimilar materials, including adhesive joints, rivet …

The use of reinforcing materials in steel structures is very widespread today because this
combination is capable of bringing great improvements to this type of structures. In this work …

The increasing industrial demand to reduce structural weight, optimize structural strength,
and high performance has led to the increasing use of tailors welded blanks. However, the …

This study examines the mechanical response and failure behavior of a hybrid joint fastened
using multiple micro-bolts subjected to quasi-static tensile loading numerically and …

The high demands for load-carrying capability and structural efficiency of composite-metal
bolted joints trigger in-depth investigations on failure mechanisms of the joints in …

Mechanical behavior and fracture characteristics of adhesively bonded and hybrid bonded-
riveted repairs with stepped single-side and double-side configurations were investigated …

Structural adhesives are bonding materials that can quickly join structures with components
and repair cracks. However, thermosetting polyurethane structural adhesives suffer from …

Friction stir welding (FSW), when in butt-joint configuration, was found to produce high-
mechanically performing joints. However, when in overlap configuration, stress …
