Abstract
A laboratory experimentation on fatigue in riveted joints and adhesively bonded joints is discussed. During the three sessions of the experimentation, the students constructed, tested, analyzed and conducted statistical analysis of their data for the specimens. The method used for the fatigue testing of the riveted joints utilized the Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) approach which decreases the amount of time for failure to occur during fatigue testing. It was observed that the adhesive joints did meet the 1.5 million-cycle requirement during their fatigue testing.
