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 …

This paper provides a state-of-the-art review on adhesively bonded joints (ABJs) for
composite materials and structures, with a focus on the open literatures from 2016 to 2023 to …

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 …

Recent developments in the aircraft industry towards substantially improving fuel economy
and extending flight range have accelerated interest in the use of advanced composites as …

Adhesive bonding is widely seen as the most optimal method for joining composite
materials, bringing significant benefits over mechanical joining, such as lower weight and …

This paper presents a progressive damage model, which is sufficiently general to predict the
ultimate load-bearing ability and complex failure behaviors of the aluminum–carbon …

A parametric study on adhesively bonded carbon composite-to-aluminum single-lap joints
was experimentally conducted. FM73m, a high strength adhesive produced by Cytec, was …

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 …

The present paper experimentally addresses the effect of manufacturing methods on the
strength of composite bonded joints. A total of 391 specimens, manufactured by four different …

This work investigates the crack propagation in composites by adopting a novel full three-
dimensional (3D) Hashin-based orthotropic damage model combined with higher-order one …
