Abstract:The continued integration of smaller, higher-functioning devices in the Aerospace, Defense & Space sectors is making it more challenging than ever to minimize assembly failure, especially where reliability is top priority and fail-safe processes, and materials are the standard. Assembly failures due to poor adhesive bonding tend to linger causing excessive manufacturing downtime, scrap, costly rework, and delays. This paper introduces the science behind adhesion. Regardless of the application, the market o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
