The cover displays a micrograph of glass particles on a plasticized polystyrene substrate showing
adhesion-induced viscous flow of the substrate and encapsulation of the particle. The crater is the
deformed substrate after a particle had been removed. The micrograph was taken by Ray Bowen
and was supplied by Dr. Donald Rimai.

Preface
Adhesion science and technology is inherently an interdisciplinary field, requir
ing fundamental understanding of mechanics, surfaces, and materials, the topics
emphasized in this Adhesion Science and Engineering series. This volume focuses
attention on the contribution of mechanics principles and solutions to under
standing the fabrication, design, analysis, and testing of adhesive bonds. Building
on the fundamentals laid by such noted mechanicians as Winkler, Timoshenko,
Volkersen, Goland, Reissner, Williams, Gent, and Johnson, this volume offers a
comprehensive overview of the current understanding of stresses, deformation,
and fracture parameters associated with a range of adhesive bonds.
Starting with a background and introduction to stress transfer principles (Chap
ter I), fracture mechanics and singularities (Chapter 2), and an energy approach
to debonding (Chapter 3), the volume continues with analysis of structural lap
(Chapter 4) and butt (Chapter 5) joint configurations. The volume continues with
discussions of test methods for strength and constitutive properties (Chapter 6),
fracture (Chapter 7), and peel (Chapter 8). Chapter 9 covers coatings, the case
of adhesion to a single substrate, and Chapter IO addresses elastomeric adhe
sives such as sealants. The role of mechanics in determining the locus of failure
in bonded joints is discussed (Chapter 11 ), followed by a chapter on rheology
relevant to adhesives and sealants (Chapter 12). Pressure sensitive adhesive per
formance (Chapter 13 ), the principles of tack and tack measurements (Chapter
14), and contact mechanics relevant to wetting and surface energy measurements
(Chapter 15) are then covered. The volume concludes with sections on fiber
matrix bonding and reinforcement (Chapter 16), durability considerations for
adhesive bonds (Chapter 17), ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation of adhesive
bonds (Chapter 18), and design of adhesive bonds from a strength perspective
(Chapter 19).
The references cited in the chapters herein represent only a portion of the
intense effort and contributions made by the mechanics community working in ad
hesion science and technology. Through compiling these important topics covered
by the respective chapters, along with the surfaces and materials issues addressed
in the companion volumes, the editors hope to address the need for a current
and comprehensive series of books that provides an overview of this broad and
interdisciplinary field. As the scientific and engineering community comes to a
better understanding of the mechanics, surface, and materials issues, improved
models of representing complex bonded systems will develop. Technical chal
lenges remain for understanding how properties of the adhesive and adherends
vi Preface
affect the performance and durability of bonded joints and structures, how de
signers can reliably utilize adhesive bonds in a variety of service conditions, and
how mechanics' insights can efficiently be translated into improving surfaces and
adhesives. One can only wonder what new science will be developed as we move
into the nanomechanics world, where the applicability of continuum mechanics
becomes questionable as atomic scales are approached.
The editors of this volume would like to express sincere appreciation to each
of the authors for their invaluable contributions to this volume. Their collective
expertise represents many years of industrial and academic experience in the field
of adhesion science and technology, and we are very grateful for the time and
effort they have devoted to the task. We would also like to thank the employers
of each of the contributors for allowing them to take on the added responsibilities
associated with this volume. We would like to thank Mrs. Shelia L. Collins for
her diligence in contacting authors, maintaining files, and assembling materials
prior to publication. Assistance from the Engineering Science and Mechanics
Department and Center for Adhesive and Sealant Science at Virginia Tech is
specifically acknowledged. Finally, we would like to thank our wives for their
patience as we compiled and edited the volume.
