TLDR
In this article, fracture mechanics and damage mechanics were used to predict the fatigue lifetime for single lap joints with variable amplitude fatigue (VAF) loading. But, the results showed that a small proportion of fatigue cycles at higher fatigue loads could result in a significant reduction in the fatigue life.

Fatigue in Adhesively Bonded Joints: A Review

TL;DR: A literature review on fatigue in adhesively bonded joints and covers articles published in the Web of Science from 1975 until 2011 is presented and reviewed in this paper, where the paper is divided into several related topics such as fatigue strength and lifetime analysis, fatigue crack initiation and propagation, fatigue durability, variable fatigue amplitude, impact fatigue, thermal fatigue, torsional fatigue, fatigue in hybrid adhesive joints, and nano-adhesives.

Q1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Fracture mechanics and damage mechanics based fatigue lifetime prediction of adhesively bonded joints subjected to variable amplitude fatigue" ?

The first part of the paper describes an investigation into the behaviour of adhesively bonded single lap joints ( SLJs ) subjected to various types of variable amplitude fatigue ( VAF ) loading. In the second part of the paper, fracture mechanics ( FM ) and damage mechanics ( DM ) approaches are used to predict the fatigue lifetime for these joints.
