Resumo (PT): Preliminary results of a testing programme for the characterization of the fatigue behaviour of adhesive bonded connections of aluminium anoys are presented. The adhesives used were epoxy resins and the base materials were aluminium alloys of the 5xxx and 6xxx series. The experimental programme consists on the determination of SN curves. The experimental data obtained was subjected to a statistical treatment and was compared with results for welded joints. It was found that it is possible to obtain adhesive connections with greater fatigue strength than equivalent welded connections.
