Abstract:The application of adhesives in the joining of materials is limited not only by the impossibility of accurately calculating the strength of an adhesive bonded joint, but also by incomplete knowledge of effect of service conditions upon degradation of adhesive forces. This is particularly true for adhesive bonded joints intended for service in sea water. In the introductory part of the paper, the effects of liquids upon the strength of adhesive bonded joints are described as reported in the reference publicatio… Show more
