Abstract
Single and double overlap bonded joints with and without defects have been made and mechanically tested. By variation of cure temperatures and time, and by variations of surface contaminants, joints which will fail in adhesion or in cohesion at any desired strength level, up to the maximum for the adhesive under consideration, have been made. Computer simulations by both shear lag and finite element methods have shown good agreement with mechanical test results.
