Abstract
Practical fatigue life prediction methods using computer aided engineering (CAE) for adhesively bonded joints are needed to reduce the risk of potential fatigue failures and unnecessary over-designs for automotive body structures. This paper presents an investigation on the tensile and fatigue behaviors of adhesively bonded lap shear and coach peel joints for A5754-O. From suspended tensile tests, macroscopic cracks were found in the adhesive...
