Structural Adhesive Bonding for Automotive Applications

Beschreibung

Structural adhesive bonding is a key approach to making cars better and safer while also reducing their environmental impact. Structural Adhesive Bonding for Automotive Applications covers several aspects of bonded joints, including materials selection, design and manufacturing processes, quality control techniques, durability analysis, and repair methods. Practical examples support the investigations into the improvements that adhesively bonded configurations offer, including enhanced resistance to dynamic fatigue, increased body stiffness, better crash performance compared with other conventional joining methods, and greater corrosion resistance. The book provides a timely compendium of specialized knowledge alongside the current state of the art, which should appeal to a broad range of audiences - from students who wish to further their understanding of adhesive science and bonded vehicle structures to manufacturing and design engineers who wish to gain an appreciation of new technology in adhesive joining.

Autor

Alireza Akhavan-Safar earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2017 and has been a coordinating researcher at INEGI, Portugal since 2018. His expertise focuses on adhesives and adhesive joints, particularly fatigue, fracture, impact, and environmental durability, with extensive involvement in industrial projects on bonded joint performance. He has published over 150 ISI papers (2,200+ citations, h¿index 28, Scopus, July 2025), delivered more than 160 conference presentations, including keynote talks, and was named among the World's Top 2% Scientists. His publications include six international books and 11 book chapters. He has supervised or cösupervised several master's and Ph.D. theses. Alireza actively contributes as a reviewer for over 85 ISI journals and evaluates research proposals for international funding agencies. He is Associate Editor of the U.Porto Journal of Engineering, and serves on editorial boards for journals such as Proc IMEchE Part L: Journal of Materials Design and Applications, Metals, Adhesives, and Archives of Advanced Engineering Science. He is also on the organizing or scientific committees of major international conferences on structural bonding, materials design, durability, vehicle body engineering, and composite materials.
