Structural adhesive bonded joints in engineering – drafting design rules

Adhesive bonded joints in steel structures

“…(2) was proposed by van Straalen [10] and defines a material dependent partial safety factor and different conversion factors η to capture effects from environmental conditions η t and variation of bondline thickness η m . Additional effects, e. g. UV-radiation, can be considered by the introduction of new conversion factors η i .…”

Structural use of adhesives for the construction of frameless glass shells

“…6(b)) was mostly linear up to the characteristic value of the moment, M k . This corresponds to the 5% fractile of the statistical distribution of the population [11].…”

Some recent progress in adhesion technology and science

“…Even if the surface treatment is described in the procedure, which is rarely the case, serious discrepancies are found from one laboratory to an other [26].…”
