Abstract

In this chapter, strategies for improving the properties of adhesive joints through geometry and internal structuring are presented, with a focus on recent developments. In the past several years, multiple approaches have been explored to use architecture, patterning, and material heterogeneity to enhance the toughness and damage tolerance of adhesive joints. Many of these strategies exploit well-known phenomena such as crack front deflection, crack blunting, and the introduction of dissipative and/or bridging layers. The objective of this chapter is to review several principles that can be used to enhance toughness as well as show several embodiments of these principles through architecting of joints.
