Abstract

Hybrid bonding-fastening is an alternative joining technique that consists of simultaneous adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening of the adherends. In this paper, pertinent scientific publications are selected and reviewed in an attempt to synthesize the current knowledge on various aspects of this technique. A particular focus is maintained on its application in composite structures. Two major bonding-fastening methods, namely bonding-bolting and bonding-pinning, are identified and contrasted, and the characteristics of each are discussed. Existing gaps in the literature are identified. Finally, perspectives for future research are assessed.
