Analysis of crack propagation in an adhesive joint / M.D. Mohan Gift, J. Selvakumar, S. John Alexis

Adhesive joints are widely used in industries because they have several advantages when compared to welded and riveted joints. One of the important factors is that they distribute the load and stresses uniformly over the entire bonded area providing good vibration resistance. Adhesive joints can rea...

description Adhesive joints are widely used in industries because they have several advantages when compared to welded and riveted joints.
