Summary:
Adhesive bonded joints are increasing by replacing conventional joints in structural applications. This is mainly due to mechanical advantages such as high strength and stiffness to weight ratio and reduced stress concentrations. Cost can also be reduced, if joints are adequately designed for fatigue loading, which is the typical loading type in most structural applications. Many methods of predicting and characterizing fatigue life in bonded joints have been proposed
