Abstract / Description of output
Adhesively bonded FRP strengthening for metallic structures relies critically on the adhesive joint between the FRP and the metal. Current best-practice in design allows the distribution of shear and peel stress along the adhesive connection to be determined, which are compared to the strength of the adhesive joint. This paper considers how this technique can be applied to (a) design stress reduction measures such as tapers, stepped plates and clamps; and (b) assess the significance of defects within the adhesive layer.
