Abstract
AbstractThe history of the subject is briefly reviewed with particular reference to adhesive selection and the development of models and computational programs that have actually been used for joint design. The conclusions that may be drawn from their use are examined in a sequence of related and idealised joint configurations. The theme is then expanded with the progressive development of a realistic joint to demonstrate how increasing torques can be accommodated with the progressive refinement of the overall end fitting design as well as its intimate joint area. A case history is set against this background and the paper concludes with a summary of practical experience.MST/1765
