Hybrid and adhesively bonded joints with dissimilar adherends: a critical review

This paper reviews the reported literature on dissimilar (non-matched adherend) adhesively bonded joints (ABJs), currently used bonding processes, and the mechanisms by which these types of joints fail when subjected to structural loading and environmental conditions. Additionally, approaches to improve the performance of dissimilar ABJs, through geometrical and material modifications, are also discussed. Many studies have reported on the...
