Issue Highlights:
Use of an Optical Textile in the Bond Line for Curing Radiation-Curable Adhesives
Radiation-curable adhesives stand out for their efficient curing; however, they require either accessibility of the bonding area or radiation transparency of the joining parts. To overcome this limitation of use, an adhe...
Investigation of Adhesive-Bonded and Welded Joints on Thermoplastic Pipes in Order To Characterise the Bonding Strengths and the Permeation Properties
Hydrogen is playing an elementary role in order to be able to meet the future energy needs efficiently. In this context, plastic piping can unleash a high potential because of its high economic viability in comparison wi...
Numerical Fatigue-Life Prediction of Hyperelastic Polyurethane Adhesive Joints for Different Mean Stresses Using a Fracture-Mechanics Approach
Owing to the advantages of polyurethane adhesives, they are increasingly used in lightweight structures, where they are subjected to cyclic loading. Despite the growing use of hyperelastic adhesives, to date they have ma...
