FUNDAMENTALS IN ADHESIVE BONDING DESIGN FOR COMPLEX STRUCTURES AND CONDITIONS: AN OVERVIEW

The importance of assembling technologies are rising up in the manufacturing industry. With the development of new materials and their complex structures, new manufacturing and joining technologies are needed. Adhesively bonding techniques are meeting the industrial and technological needs, these techniques are providing an alternative for joining technology andenabling the use of a wider range of materials in product design; and adhesives allow enhanced aesthetics, lighter weight constructions and improved end performance, and also their usefulness build the utilization of multi-material, hybrid structures and for joining of dissimilar materials. Different materials have different physical and mechanical properties. Therefore, processing and joining procedures can also be challenging due to their properties. Adhesive bonding techniques are giving chance to cope with these difficulties. This paper reviews and summarizes state of the art research in adhesive joints for industrial applications in developing the innovative field. This is due to the expanding desires for more capability of strength and light-weight materials
