Abstract
Incorporation of metallic fibers into bonding line has been considered as an efficient way to reinforce the adhesive joints. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the fatigue behavior of the metallic fiber-reinforced adhesives. Single Lap Joints (SLJ) with various fiber distances were fabricated and tested under various fatigue loading levels to obtain the stress-fatigue life curves. The experimental results revealed that incorporation of the metallic fibers in adhesive layer improves the load sharing in the bonding line resulting in higher fatigue strengths for the case of reinforced adhesive joints.
