<p><strong>Lucas FM da Silva</strong> is Full Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). He obtained his PhD in structural adhesive bonding of composites from the University of Bristol (United Kingdom) in 2004 and Aggregation from FEUP in 2011. He leads the&nbsp;Advanced Joining Processes Unit&nbsp;(AJPU) of the Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering (INEGI) composed of approximately 40 members post-doc, doctoral students and master students. The work includes the development welded joints, joints by plastic deformation and adhesively bonded joints. The research methodology is based on the mechanical characterization of materials and joints in terms of strength and fracture, modeling with analytical models and finite elements supported by careful experimental tests.</p>

<p>This book offers selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Industrial Applications of Adhesives, held in Cascais, Portugal, March 7-8, 2024. The goal of the conference was to provide a unique opportunity to exchange information, present the latest results as well as to discuss issues relevant to industrial applications of adhesives. Special contributions on formulation of adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, adhesive properties, design of adhesive joints, and durability of adhesive joints have been selected for this volume. This work will appeal to a wide readership, from practitioners through graduate students to researchers working in this field.</p>

Provides typical examples of industrial applications of adhesives Presents latest applied research in adhesives Offers helpful case studies in adhesive bonding
