Strength prediction of bonded joints remains a challenging task made even further
complicated for hybrid joints in which adhesive is supplemented by mechanical fasteners …

Adhesive bonding has become increasingly popular in the manufacturing industry due to its
many advantages. However, the need to completely fill the joint gap with adhesive for …

This paper presents a study that combines experimental and numerical approaches to
investigate hybrid joining methods involving riveting and adhesive bonding, aimed at …

While most academic studies focus on the properties of cured joints, this research addresses
the manufacturing process of hybrid joints in their uncured state. Hybrid joints that combine …

In the manufacturing industry, the process of applying adhesive to join two substrates can be
challenging. It requires precise placement of adhesive so that it is distributed in the desired …

In most bonding processes, an adhesive is applied to a substrate in a specific pattern before
the second substrate is subsequently pressed against it. During this, the adhesive flows in …

In bonding processes, the final distribution of the adhesive in the gap depends on the
compressing normal load, velocity and kinematics, the adhesive properties, but above all on …

With the rapid development of precision micro-manufacturing technology, the connection
and assembly processes of precision micro-devices have placed higher demands on the …

Currently, adhesive bonding processes are developed and optimised in a time-consuming
trial and error procedure, which rarely leads to an optimal solution due to the high …
