Abstract
Guest Editorial This special issue of Applied Adhesion Science (AAS) contains selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Structural Adhesive Bonding (AB 2015). AB 2015 was chaired by the two of us and was held in Porto, Portugal during July 2–3, 2015. The goal of the conference was to provide a unique opportunity to exchange information, present the latest results as well as to discuss issues relevant to structural adhesive bonding research today. Approximately 160 papers were presented by researchers from more than 30 countries. In order to disseminate the work presented at AB 2015, selected papers were prepared which resulted in the present Special Issue. The study of Schneider and Wrobel deals with use of high-energy laser radiation for surface preparation of magnesium for adhesive applications. High strength adhesive bonding of magnesium-alloys could be achieved. This fast physical process fulfils all legal requirements concerning environmental protection and occupational safety and also has low operating costs. Kemiklioglu et al. investigated the failure strengths of adhesively bonded joints with brittle and ductile adhesives by repeated impact. Useful information was generated to help designers who need information on mechanical properties of ductile and brittle adhesives under single and repeated impacts. The study of Moller et al. aims to determine the behaviour of a two-component adhesive regularly used to join pieces in acid mist extraction systems in mining applications. The specimens were tested at 20, 50 and 80 °C. From the results obtained, it is possible to appreciate that the adhesive at 50 °C decreased its strength by 14 % with respect to those at the reference temperature of 20 °C. Assih et al. describe an experimental and theoretical analysis of strengthened damaged concrete corbel by gluing carbon fibre fabrics. The study showed that the bonded composite fibre fabrics can be a convenient and effective strengthening method of concrete structures. A theoretical analysis is presented describing the behaviour of strengthened damaged concrete corbel using the damage theory of reinforced concrete beams. Applications of adhesive bonding are described in 2 papers. Ayyildiz et al. evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of three different cements to zirconia and lithium Open Access
