Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the strength properties of the adhesively wavy-lap joints under compressive shear loads. Therefore, compressive shear test to measure the fracture loads of the joints and FEM analysis to investigate the stress distribution and deformation at bonded part were carried out. As a numerical result, it was found that the stress distribution in the adhesive layer is maximal at center of lapped part as the case where tensile shear is applied. From the experimental results, it was found that the compressive shear strength of the adhesively wavy-lap joint become more increasing than that of ordinary single-lap joint.
