Abstract
In this study, we aim to clarify the strength properties when the tensile shear loads were applied to the adhesively wavy-lap joints with dissimilar adherends. To evaluate the strength properties for each joint, experiments to measure the fracture loads of the joints were carried out by using a precious universal testing machine. As a result, it was found that the tensile shear strength and the maximum displacement increase case where the material of other adherend in the dissimilar joints is used mild steel SS400. It was also proved that compared with the similar adherends in previous study, the tensile shear strengths in the case of dissimilar adherends decrease. In addition, it was seen that the interface failure between an adhesive layer and the adherend become occupy at bounded part in all of joints.
