Abstract [en]
The aim of this study is to evaluate fatigue performance of joined assemblies (spot weld and/or adhesive bonding) in corrosive environment. Various assemblies have been tested in alternated and simultaneous fatigue-corrosion modes. Adhesive joints are strongly affected by simultaneous fatigue-corrosion with a large drop of the fatigue life compared to results in air. By alternating fatigue and corrosion, the reduction of fatigue life is important. For spot welding, fatigue life is decreased at higher load amplitudes and increased at lower amplitudes. These results are strongly linked to the opening of the gap near the spot weld at high load amplitudes. At low amplitudes, corrosion might limit the local stress at the notch root of the weld.
