Abstract
The effect of bondline thickness, from 130 μm to 790 μm, on the fatigue and quasi-static fracture behavior of aluminum joints bonded using a toughened epoxy adhesive was studied experimentally under mode-I (DCB) and mixed-mode (ADCB) loading. Under mode-I loading, it was found that the fatigue threshold energy release rate, Gth, decreased for very thin bondlines, while under mixed-mode loading, the Gth changed very little with bondline...
