Adhesive Bonding Handbook for Advanced Structural Materials

摘要

Adhesive bonding is a viable method of joining advanced composite materials andcertain metals which are used in the aerospace industries. When desiging a joint, a whole range of factors which have a direct influence on the materials selection, manufacture and inspection activities, need to be considered. It is therefore necessary to follow a fully integrated program to ensure joint integrity. The aim of this handbook is to highlight what needs to be known, and identify what and where relevant information is available for the existing range of adhesives and the materials most commonly used in spacecraft structures. The state of technology for the merging materials which have potential for use in future European space projects is reviewed.
