_Advances in Structural Adhesive Bonding, Second Edition_ reviews developments in adhesive bonding for a range of advanced structural engineering applications. This new edition has been fully revised to include the latest advances in materials, testing and modeling methods, lifecycle considerations, and industrial implementation. Sections review advances in commonly used groups of structural adhesives, covering epoxy, acrylic, anaerobic and cyanoacrylate, polyurethane, and silicone adhesives, along with toughening. Other chapters cover various types of adherends and pre-treatment methods for structural materials, including metals, plastics, composites, wood and joint design and testing, including topics such as fracture mechanics, life prediction techniques, and advanced testing methods. This is a valuable guide for all those working with structural adhesives, including those in an industrial setting, adhesive specialists, structural engineers, design engineers, R&D professionals, and scientists, as well as academic researchers and advanced students in adhesives, joining technology, materials science and mechanical engineering. * Provides detailed coverage on the main adhesive groups, including epoxy, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, polyurethane and silicone adhesives * Includes the latest developments across adherends, pre-treatment methods, joint design and testing, durability and lifecycle related issues * Addresses environmental challenges, adhesive specification, quality control, and risk mitigation for specific industrial application areas
