Fatigue Life Predictions of Adhesive Joint of Sheet Steels

Structural adhesive is widely employed in vehicle structures to enhance noise-vibration and crashworthiness performance. It is also known that structural durability is enhanced with application of structural adhesive. Many researchers have reported the fatigue performance of adhesive joints, but the test results showed noticeable scatter, making it hard to develop a fatigue life prediction method. This study fabricated cross-tension specimens...
