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 need to design lightweight structures and the increased use of lightweight materials in
industrial fields, have led to wide use of adhesive bonding. Recent work relating to finite …

Adhesives have been used for thousands of years, but until 100 years ago, the vast majority
was from natural products such as bones, skins, fish, milk, and plants. Since about 1900 …

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 …

This study intended to research the effects of nanoparticle hybridization (nano-silica and
GNP) on the bending performance of adhesively bonded joints of Al-2024 sheets. For this …

Examining the mechanical performance of CFRP and aluminum samples subjected to
environmental aging is crucial. Additionally, it is essential to develop methods to enhance …

Adhesive bonding is a constantly developing technique, and the volume of its industrial
applications is rapidly increasing, which, in turn, requires improving the compatibility and …

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 …

Nowadays, there is a strong trend towards the use of functionally graded materials, with
particular importance for the functionally graded joints. The main objective of this work was …
