The present aspects include an assembly having discretized and segmented joint architecture. The assembly comprises a first structure including an outer wall and an inner wall, wherein the outer wall and the inner wall extend from a base of the first structure, and define a groove, and a plurality of connecting walls extending between the outer wall and the inner wall such that the groove is divided into a plurality of groove segments defined by the outer wall, the inner wall, and the plurality of connecting walls. The assembly further comprises a second structure including a plurality of tongue segments which extend into the plurality of groove segments. A first adhesive is inserted into the groove, thereby bonding the plurality of tongue segments within the plurality of groove segments such that the first and second structures are fixed together.

An assembly-ready joint for an aircraft assembly is disclosed. The joint includes a first joint part having a spigot. The joint also has a second joint part with a housing. A floating socket is in an interior of the housing. The second joint part receives the spigot in the floating socket. The joint is arranged to receive a curable medium, such as curable resin, in the interior to contract between the housing and the floating socket.

Described herein is a method for joining a first metal pipe with a second metal pipe, the pipes being joined together in an overlapping area by use of a two-component polyurethane adhesive that encapsulates the overlapping area, where the method includes the steps of:

(1) applying the two-component polyurethane adhesive onto an inner surface of a fixture;
(2) inserting one end of the first metal pipe into one end of the second metal pipe so as to form a pipe assembly having the overlapping area between the two ends, and putting the overlapping area of the pipe assembly into the fixture; (3) closing the fixture such that the overlapping area of the pipe assembly is fixed in the fixture, and such that the adhesive therein encapsulates the overlapping area of the pipe assembly; (4) curing the two-component polyurethane adhesive; and (5) optionally, removing the fixture from the pipe assembly.

A connector body having a first end portion defining a first end face of the body and an opposite second end portion defining a second end face of the body, the first end portion including a first peripheral groove with a first sealing ring, and the second end portion including a second peripheral groove with a second sealing ring, an intermediate portion of the—body defining a peripheral surface extending between the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring, the peripheral surface to be covered by the retaining glue for bonding the body to the tube, a glue flow passage at the first end portion extending transversally to the first sealing ring, and a glue injection channel extending from the first end portion towards the second end portion and including a glue injection port in the first end portion and a glue ejection port at the peripheral surface.

Disclosed is a fastener assembly comprising: a bolt member, comprising a bolt head and a shank, at least a part of which is screw threaded; a nut member for threaded engagement with the shank; a first drive element allocated to the bolt member and a second drive element allocated to the nut member, each drive element comprising a body and adapted for engagement by a corresponding tool. The body of the first drive element is joined to the bolt member by a first interposed interlayer structure. The body of the second drive element is joined to the nut member by a second interposed interlayer structure. The first interlayer structure is adapted to fracture in response to relative rotational and/or tensile force applied to the first drive element. The second interlayer structure is adapted to fracture in response to relative rotational and/or tensile force applied to the second drive element.

A method includes forming a cutout in a bamboo pole, the cutout having a non-uniform perimeter, and in which the perimeter increases towards a region of the bamboo pole where fibers of the pole are stronger than other regions of the bamboo pole.

A process for manufacturing a putter with a bi-material shaft is disclosed herein. The putter comprises a putter head, the bi-material shaft, a mass member and a grip. The bi-material shaft comprises a body with a tip end and a butt end. The body comprises a metal section extending from the tip end to a connection point, and a composite section extending from the butt end to the connection point. The mass member is positioned within an opening at the butt end of the shaft. Mass from the shaft is transferred to the club head and the mass member in the butt end of the shaft.

The present disclosure relates to an energy-saving and environmentally friendly filter and a method for producing thereof. The energy-saving and environmentally friendly filter includes filter element body composed of a plurality of sections of bending parts, including a sealing part is arranged on the bending part and configured to block the bending part. The advantage of the present disclosure is that the large amount of air intake per unit time improves the combustion efficiency of the internal combustion engine fuel and makes the power more abundant.

A method of assembling components of a vehicle is provided that includes locating a node (20) relative to an adjoining component (22), measuring at least one geometrical feature of the node or the adjoining component, 3D printing an assembly adjustment member (24) based on the measuring, and placing the assembly adjustment member proximate at least one of the node or the adjoining component. The assembly adjustment member is configured to allow relative movement between the node and the adjoining component for subsequent processing operations.

A chassis link for a motor vehicle having load introduction elements connected by a straight profile portion of fiber-reinforced plastic. The profile portion and load introduction elements are connected via an adhesive connection in a common connection portion in which an end portion of the load introduction element and an end portion engage another in positive engagement. On both sides of a profile portion neutral fiber plane, the adhesive connection has longitudinal adhesive layers extending in a longitudinal direction of the profile portion and parallel to one another in a vertical. In vertical direction of the profile portion the longitudinal adhesive layers have a cross-sectional area becoming larger with increasing distance from the neutral fiber plane so that a relief is brought about in regions of the adhesive connection which have a relatively large distance from the neutral fiber plane in vertical direction of the profile portion.
