Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

Lap shear strength is the ability of an adhesive to resist forces in the plane of the bonded surfaces. Bonded structural joints are typically designed so that the adhesive is only subjected to ...
