Structural Adhesive Bonding Materials and Processes
A detailed review of the complex, interrelated issues that determine the performance of structural bond systems will be presented. How adhesive bonds transmit loads is critical because it is not intuitive, frequently poorly presented, and informs identifying and resolving quality and process problems. Laminated composite structures don’t just benefit from structural bonding; it is difficult to make composite structures with significant complexity or utility while avoiding adhesive bonding.
Ceramic Matrix Composites
Since 2016, Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) were realized for civil hot section jet engine applications. Their use is projected to grow as major engine manufacturers and part manufacturers around the world develop CMCs for hot section parts. However, CMCs are quite different compared to traditional Ni-based superalloys historically used for such applications. This tutorial will describe the unique capabilities, properties, and complexities when considering and designing with CMCs.
