Abstract

Electromagnetic interference across a structural panel is minimized in a construction wherein a metal skin (24) is bonded to a metal frame (22) by an adhesive (40) by providing a series of peaks (36) and valleys (38) at the area of the intended joint between the skin (24) and the frame (22). The peaks (36) penetrate through the adhesive (40) to establish substantial electrical contact between the skin (24) and the frame (22) to provide shielding against electromagnetic interference while the adhesive (40) bonds the two together to provide a structurally sound panel.
