The aerospace, automotive and marine industries have witnessed a rapid increase of using adhesive bonded joints due to their advantages in joining dissimilar and/or new engineering materials. Joint strength is the key property evaluating capability joint. In this paper, developments black-box grey-box machine learning (ML) models are presented allow accurate predictions failure load single lap ...

Adhesive joining is recognized as a potential enabling technology for a variety of material systems being considered in automotive structures where traditional fastening methods would be inappropriate. Well known examples include fiber reinforced composites and polymers. Additionally in certain circumstances, adhesive bonding of steel structures can provide benefits such as improved stiffness a...

Perturbation(s) in the adhesive’s properties originating from manufacturing, glue-line application method and in-service conditions, may lead to poor performance of bonded systems. Herein, effect such uncertainties on adhesive stresses is analyzed via a probabilistic mechanics framework built continuum-based theoretical model. Firstly, generic 2D plane stress/strain linear-elastic model for com...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM It is unclear which post and core system performs best when bonded to severely compromised endodontically treated teeth. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the fracture resistance and mode of failure of severely compromised teeth restored with 3 different adhesively bonded post and core systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty extracted endodontically trea...

PURPOSE Porcelain chipping has been one of the main problems of porcelain-fused-to-zirconia restorations. This study evaluates the bond strengths of layered, pressed, and adhesively bonded porcelain to yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates that have undergone traditional preparation or gas-phase fluorination. MATERIALS AND METHODS A three-point bending test was used to evaluate the bond stren...
