Influence of Mean Stress on Lifetime Prediction of Adhesive Bonds

The importance of adhesive bonds in the field joining technology is increasing due to their advantageous properties. One these attributes possibility reduce weight compared welded joints group components. For a safe design, knowledge lifetime components essential. Various methods are used for prediction under cyclic loading. On one hand there test-based methods, on other simulation-based approaches. Test-based ones often time-consuming and cost-intensive. In addition, change boundary conditions requires new tests. Using method, it possible analyse rapidly. following contribution shows damage model approach that able predict an bond with high accuracy, by taking into account main influencing factors. First, various factors presented. Afterwards, extended regard consideration important mean stress influence. Finally, validated comparison model-based from test data multiaxial
