摘要：In this review paper,the challenges and some recent developments of adhesive bonding technology in composite aircraft structures are *** durability of bonded joints is defined and presented for parameters that may influence bonding *** is also,a numerical design approach for composite joining profiles used to realize adhesive *** is shown that environmental ageing and pre-bond contamination of bonding surfaces may degrade significantly fracture toughness of bonded ***,it is obvious that additional research is needed in order to design joining profiles that will enable load transfer through shearing of the *** findings,together with the limited capabilities of existing non-destructive testing techniques,can partially explain the confined use of adhesive bonding in primary composite aircraft structural parts.
