Book excerpt: Adhesively bonded joints provide several benefits, such as uniform stress distribution than conventional methods such as mechanical fastening. Hence, the knowledge of stresses inside the adhesive layer of an adhesively-bonded joint is essential for design analysis and joint strength prediction. In this thesis, the effect of strain rate on adhesively bonded single lap joints of similar and dissimilar adherends (Aluminum and Carbon fiber composites) with a number of adhesives was investigated.
