Synopsis

This book is concerned with adhesives and adhesive bonding for load-bearing applications. It is arranged in three main sections: fundamentals, generic uses and industry specific applications. The introductory section focuses predominantly on different types of adhesives and their mechanical and physical properties, surface assessment, design and analysis, failure and non-destructive testing. Part 2 concentrates specifically on generic uses of adhesives: stiffening, strengthening, repair, and joining of dissimilar materials and composites. The final section of the book concentrates on industry specific applications. The book will also include ISO, ASTM and BS standards with a reference to specific suppliers. It will be a major resource for all those concerned with the science and technology of adhesive bonding.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This important collection reviews key research on adhesive behaviour and
applications in sectors as diverse as construction and automotive
engineering. The book is divided into three main parts: fundamentals,
mechanical properties and applications. Part 1 focuses on the basic
properties of adhesives, surface assessment and treatment. Part 2
concentrates on understanding how adhesives perform under stress and the
factors affecting fatigue and failure. The final part of the book reviews
industry specific applications in areas such as building and construction,
transport and electrical engineering.

With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors,
Adhesive bonding is a standard reference for all those concerned with the
industrial application of adhesives.
