Influence of adherend’s delamination on the response of single lap and socket tubular adhesively bonded joints subjected to torsion

Tubular adhesively bonded joints are widely used in many industries such as the oil-and-gas, aerospace and automotive. Such joints are often used to mate dissimilar materials. Composite materials, because of their superior specific strength and stiffness and high resistance to corrosion, have also been widely used to form tubular components. When composites are mated to other materials (such as metals) by adhesives, the stress concentration in...
