Efficiency - Feb 01, 2012
posted by Darin Jensen, R&D - Applied/ Formulation/ Product development at Donaldson
There are many reasons to use adhesives over mechanical but my favorite is material efficiency. You can get much higher loading and a more streamlined load transfer with an adhesive over a mechanical fastener. Bolsters and reinforcement are not required, machining is reduced. Plus it looks cool. Look at any plane and compare it to a design from Burt Rutan and Scaled Composites. No Comparison!
