Engineering Design Handbook - Joining of Advanced Composites

This 1979 Handbook should serve as a guide to designers concerned with the technology associated with the joining of advanced composites. It deals with basic joint design practice as well as with those practices specific to composite joining. Tabulated and graphical representations of joint property data obtained on both bounded and mechanically fastened composites are presented. These data can be used by designers to test the degree of conservatism in calculated joint properties for their composite joint designs and hopefully will impart the necessary degree of confidence or wariness in the early design stages where alterations can be made most economically.
