Abstract
The multiaxial fatigue experiments were conducted on the adhesive bonded hollow cylinder butt-joints under the stress-controlled mode. The effect of loading path, equivalent stress amplitude, equivalent mean stress and period on the multiaxial fatigue behaviors were discussed. The multiaxial fatigue damages of adhesively bonded joints were also analyzed from the evolution of ratchetting and dissipative energy behavior. The results showed that the loading paths had a great influence on dissipated energy and ratchetting strain, and the effects of non-proportional loading path on the ratchetting strain and dissipation energy were greater than that of the proportional loading path. Moreover, the equivalent stress amplitude, equivalent mean stress and period all had some influence on the dissipation energy and equivalent ratchetting strain. In addition, the dissipative energy and the ratchetting strain increased gradually with the number of cycle increase, which resulted in the fatigue life decreases with the increase of equivalent stress amplitude and mean stress, and the decreasing period. The effects of period on the multiaxial fatigue life under the elliptic loading path were insignificant for the adhesive bonding butt-joints.
