Abstract
A thorough understanding of the types of defects that frequently occur in adhesively bonded joints is required. Any defect found in an adhesive bond has the potential to affect the strength of that bond. Industry requires a method of not only identifying such defects but also the setting of threshold criteria, to define acceptable/unacceptable defects. The threshold criteria are dependent on where the joint is to be deployed and tailored its application. The first step in this process is to categorise types of defects in adhesive bonds and then to develop reliable methods of non-destructive evaluation that can identify the defect type before tailoring the threshold criteria.
