Abstract
The use of structural adhesives in the manufacture of load-bearing components has grown extensively in recent years. This can be attributed to a number of desirable qualities which adhesive bonding allows in comparison with more traditional joining techniques such as riveting and welding. These include:
-
(i)
Allowance of a relatively uniform stress distribution, resulting in improved fatigue performance.
-
(ii)
The ability to join dissimilar substrate materials which, due to their dielectric nature, minimises the possibility of electrolytic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
-
(iii)
Allows the joining of thin-gauge metals to each other, in particular honeycomb assemblies, resulting in the availability of lightweight structures exhibiting high strength to weight ratios.
-
(iv)
Allows both increased design flexibility and the ability to fabricate complex shapes.
-
(v)
The possibility of reduced production costs in comparison to welding and riveting.
