Product Description
Synopsis
This volume contains sections on the design of adhesive joints, fractographic analysis of surface preparation of composite materials, the effect of temperature and humidity on the fatigue behavior of bonded joints, the durability of adhesive bonded epoxy carbon fiber composites, the prediction of performance of adhesive bonded joints in acoustical evaluations, the repair of thermoplastic resin composites and the durability of adhesive bonded epoxy carbon fiber composites, the durability of adhesive bonded carbon fiber composites, and the relationship of physical properties of curing adhesives to joint strength development. Composites Bonding is designed to convey recent developments in the study of composites of a number of different kinds ranging from automotive to aerospace and includes work that has been conducted from around the world and not yet published in this type of format. This book will be useful to anyone interested in furthering their understanding of adhesive joints, the dynamic mechanical properties of interfaces, the study of failure mechanisms, the study of types of adhesives, the ability to bond composites, the durability of joints, and the relations of different types of composites commonly used in industry. It will be useful to people attempting to better understand the durability of adhesives and bonded joints as well as individuals interested in predicting long-term survival joints, as well as bonded development. It also offers information on adhesive performance and failures on a maromolecular scale as well as on atomic scales.
