In each type of joint analyzed, the analytical stress solution is formulated and final numerical results are provided for easy use and self-learning. Analytical and high-efficiency semianalytical methods for interfacial stress and fracture analysis of various bonded and adhesively bonded joints are provided as are related joint design insights and advanced applications in structures and devices. Fundamentals of elasticity, fracture mechanics, and viscoelasticity are also introduced.The book starts by introducing different kinds of joining technology and how joints are classified, followed by chapters looking at the fundamentals of elasticity and fracture mechanics. From there the book explores various analytical solutions to interfacial stresses, strength and toughness of bonded joints, and the viscoelastic mechanics of adhesives and concludes with a chapter covering the applications of these joining theories, exploring their use in smart materials, microelectronics packaging, surface coatings, laminated composite materials, and more.

      Amongst thermoplastic biodegradable polymers, polylactic acid (PLA) has been widely used in many different applications but it still has limited use in various industrial sectors such as medical, packaging, textile, water, and wastewater treatment. To increase the use of these materials more information is needed on their properties, characterization, processing, safety, and sustainability. Natural Fibre-Reinforced PLA Composites: Processing, Characterization and Applications reviews the thermal, physico-chemical, fire retardant, mechanical, tribological, biodegradable and anti-microbial properties of these materials. Fabrication of PLA biocomposites using advanced fabrication techniques like additive manufacturing and electrospinning are also discussed in detail. The book will be a valuable reference for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers working in the development of polymers, bioplastics, polymer composites and biocomposites as well as industrial manufacturers.
