Material. and procedure Abstract The stIuctural behavior of metal-plate connections (MPCs) 18 affected not only by the Isolated properties of the adjoining wood members and metal plate but a1so by the interfadal region between ind1v1dual teeth and the sunounding wood. This study looked at maintaJn1ng a good interface by applying an epoxy adhesive to metal-plate teeth immediately preceding joint...

Adhesively bonded joints between metallic and composite plates are gaining increasing acceptance in safety critical applications such as automotive and aerospace structures. Lamb wave methods have considerable potential for the inspection of adhesive joints and assemblies for two reasons: they do not require direct access to the bond region, and they are much more amenable to rapid scanning tha...

This paper presents the effect of simple structural changes consisting in making notches on edge adherends static and fatigue properties adhesive joints. The study is based set experimental strength tests single lap shear It has been shown that a slight increase load capacity possible by using adhesive-filled notches. However, this modification leads to an standard deviation test results. Based...

Abstract Natural fibre-reinforced composites have attracted a great deal of attention by the automotive industry mainly due to their sustainable characteristics and low cost. The use is expected continuously increase in this area as cost weight vehicles could be partially reduced replacing glass fibre aluminium with natural composites. Adhesive bonding preferred joining method for increasingly ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of the arthroscopic treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder with six to nine years of follow up. METHODS From August 2002 to December 2004, ten patients underwent arthroscopic capsular release for adhesive capsulitis refractory to conservative treatment. An interscalene catheter was used for postoperative analgesia, before the procedure. All were in ...

The widespread use of adhesive bonded connections has been used in a range technical fields. In this paper, the interfacial stress distribution joint is presented. When determining whether or not structure dependable for operation, stresses that act along bond line an adhesively lap are utmost importance. purpose study to develop finite element solutions able anticipate shear and peel using the...

Environmental, political. and socioeconomic actions over the past several years have resulted in a decreased wood supply at a time when there is an increased demand for forest products. This combination of increased demand and decreased supply has forced more emphasis on engineered wood products, a varied category usually connected with adhesively-bonded end joints, of which the most common typ...

Experimental and numerical investigations were carried out on adhesively bonded full-scale double lap joints from pultruded GFRP profiles with relatively thick adhesive layers, needed in infrastructure applications to compensate for tolerances. The influence of different geometrical parameters on the joint strength was investigated, namely the thickness of the adhesive layer (from 5 to 35 mm), ...

This work is the first systematic study on static behavior of adhesively-bonded Fe-SMA-to-steel joints in applications adopting iron-based Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). In order to provide a better understanding mechanical adhesively bonded joint, an experimental campaign was established, involving 24 lap-shear tests displacement-controlled loading regime. The test series includes two types Fe-SM...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength of teeth with different cavosurface margin cavity preparations and restored with composite resin and different adhesive systems. Eighty premolars were randomly divided in 8 groups, as follow: G1- sound teeth; G2- MOD preparation (no restoration); G3- Adper Single Bond without bevel preparation (butt joint); G4- Adper Single Bond with b...
