Conference on Bonded Aircraft Structures: Summaries of Papers Presented at the Conference organized by Aero Research Ltd., at Cambridge, on March 31‐April 5, 1957

The history of SAAB's development of adhesive bonded aircraft structures is briefly commented upon. The lecture deals mainly with Redux bonding of aluminium alloys, and the many design problems associated with bonded structures are treated mainly with the structural designer's interests in mind. He has to deal with a great number of different types of bonded joints, loaded and stressed in more or less complex ways, and often with high service temperatures, for which more design information is needed.
