The composites patch is an effective method to repair metal and composite parts while
keeping the weight of repaired structures almost constant. This review focuses on the …

In the scenario of nanoparticle-reinforcement, synergistic effect of adding two or more
nanoparticles types to the adhesive can be introduced as a solution to achieve more efficient …

In the field of composites patch repair, it is necessary to improve the repair performance of
adhesive due to its important role in repair efficiency and durability. A bi-adhesive repair …

As bonded components of engineering structures inevitably experience fatigue loading
conditions during their service life, it is significant to find ways to enhance their endurance …

The current work is intended to give an overview of issues related to the numerical
simulation of adhesive spreading for liquid to semi-liquid adhesives. The advantages and …

Fatigue crack growth in composite, single lap bonded joints is analysed by back face
distributed strain sensing, using optical backscatter reflectometry. Crack growth is inferred …

Ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation in pulse-echo mode is used for the inspection of single-
lap aluminum adhesive joints, which contain interface defects in bonding area. The aim of …

The intrinsic performance of epoxy adhesives seems to designate them as the ideal solution
for assembling certain materials. Pore can have an influence on the load at which the first …

This work aims to characterize the water uptake mechanisms of a two-component epoxy
adhesive joint immersed in deionized water. The pore-type defects in the bulk adhesive after …

Adhesively bonded joints with various levels of porosity in the adhesive layer are examined
via X-ray computed tomography (CT) and Mode I fracture toughness testing. Bonded …
