Fatigue in Adhesively Bonded Joints: A Review
Summary
This review of over 220 studies on fatigue in adhesively bonded joints covers fatigue strength, crack initiation, crack propagation, durability under variable loading, and the influence of environmental conditions on joint performance. Researchers identify ongoing challenges in predicting fatigue life and highlight the lack of standardized testing methods as a barrier to applying research findings in engineering design.
This paper presents a literature review on fatigue in adhesively bonded joints and covers articles published in the Web of Science from 1975 until 2011. About 222 cited articles are presented and reviewed. The paper is divided into several related topics such as fatigue strength and lifetime analysis, fatigue crack initiation, fatigue crack propagation, fatigue durability, variable fatigue amplitude, impact fatigue, thermal fatigue, torsional fatigue, fatigue in hybrid adhesive joints, and nano-adhesives. The paper is concluded by highlighting the topics that drive future research.

Fatigue Failure of Adhesive Joints in Fiber-Reinforced Composite Material Under Step/Variable Amplitude Loading—A Critical Literature Review
This study is not about microplastics; it is a materials engineering review of fatigue failure mechanisms and damage accumulation models for fiber-reinforced polymer composite adhesive joints under variable-amplitude loading conditions.
Durability Analysis of CFRP Adhesive Joints: A Study Based on Entropy Damage Modeling Using FEM
Researchers incorporated an entropy damage model into the finite element method to predict the fatigue durability of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) adhesive joints with varying adhesive layer thicknesses. Findings showed that damage variables peaked at a 0.3 mm adhesive thickness before declining, providing insight into stress behavior at the resin-composite interface under cyclic loading.
