One of the biggest questions surrounding structural adhesives is, “How do I know the bond is good?” Bonded joints are tested under many conditions during development, but those tests are destructive tests. New types of nondestrutive testing allow engineers to detect kissing disbonds.
What if you could take the best materials available, combine them anyway you need to, and produce the most efficient, light-weight structures imaginable? What if you could assemble those structures with adhesives? You can, with fiber-reinforced composites.
Editor’s note: ASSEMBLY magazine is launching three new columns this year. “Bonding Lines,” is dedicated to adhesive bonding and dispensing and is also running in February, May and November.
