Fatigue characteristics of a co-cured single lap joint subjected to cyclic tensile loads

摘要

In this paper, the effect of bond parameters on the fatigue characteristics of a steel-composite co-cured single lap joint under cyclic tensile loads was experimentally investigated. We considered the surface roughness of the steel adherend and the stacking sequence of the composite adherend as bond parameters. a fatigue failure mechanism of the co-cured single lap joint was explained systematically by investigating the surfaces of failed specimens.
