Abstract
This chapter introduces the principles behind the behaviour of the adhesively bonded and the mechanically bolted joints in composite structures. There are a number of reviews representing the state-of-the-art for the theoretical analyses of both types of joints [1–8]; in addition, Matthews [9] discusses the design techniques for bonded and bolted joints and gives a number of design curves.
