Abstract

The goal of this introductory chapter is to illustrate examples of representative attachments of dissimilar materials in engineering and biology, and to place into context the deeper treatments of the mechanics and physiology of material attachments studied throughout the rest of the book. Examples are presented to demonstrate typical cases and problems associated with such joints. We include a brief discussion of the relevant fracture problem that should be addressed when designing or analyzing attachments of dissimilar materials.
