Recent adhesive research starts to consider more process oriented problems, in addition to
the classical static stress and strength related topics, thus shifting towards a more global …

The load-bearing capacity of hybrid riv-bonded aluminum-magnesium lap joints under shear-
tensile loading was studied with particular focus on their static strength and fatigue …

In order to exploit the advantages offered by multi-material design, this work studies the
feasibility of joining aluminum alloys with high-strength steels (HSS) against the favorable …

The load-bearing capacities of (i) self-piercing-riveted,(ii) adhesive-bonded and (iii) hybrid
riv-bonded lap joints of commercial 1.5-mm-thick EN AW-6016-T4 sheets were compared …

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 …

Reliable simulation of hybrid joining processes using conventional finite element (FE) tools
is challenging, because the liquid adhesive must be somehow included in the model. Thus …

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 …

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 …

In bonding processes, the main influence for the resulting adhesive distribution after
pressing is the adhesive used on the surfaces to be bonded, the adhesive's initial …

There are three major families of joining techniques used for joining components, and parts,
in all industrial applications: mechanical fastening, thermal fastening and adhesive bonding …
