Adhesive bonded lap joint is fundamental to many adhesive joint design in industry. Hence, to investigate the effects of basic factors, such as over-lap length, on its fatigue strength is important to establish the design standard for the lap joint.
In this study, the effect of over-lap length on fatigue strength was investigated using a single lap joint bonded with an epoxy-polyamide adhesive under impact and non-impact stress conditions.
From the comparison of the non-impact fatigue strength τ
max and the static shear strength τ
b by taking the over-lap length as a parameter, it was revealed that the longer was the over-lap length, the lower was the non-impact fatigue strength, τ
max, and also the value of τ
b became lower at the same degree as that of τ
max, as given by the following correlation. τ
max/τ
b=1.71
Nf-0.12 where
Nf is the number of stress cycles to failure.
However, when the impact fatigue strength on the
S-N diagram was compared with the non-impact one, it was observed that the former showed more rapid lowering trend with increasing number of stress cycles than the latter. Furthermore, with increasing the over-lap length, or with increasing the stress concentration factor, the impact fatigue strength decreased more rapidly than the non-impact fatigue strength.
