Bonded joints perform well through wide temperature range. Tests indicate significant improvement in joint efficients available through geometric modifications and hybrid material additions at adherent interfaces. Material modifications consisted of placing S-glass polyimide fabric in joint between adherents. Most fabric interface specimens delaminated between two fabric plies as opposed to failing in base adherents.
