For this purpose, the standard specifications and notes in the special literature are to be taken into account. Thick film adhesives used for window bonding as well as metal adhesives are to be considered.

• Definition of simple specimens and clamping devices and preparation of the necessary production documents

• Literature research on adhesive data and collecting the material characteristics found

• Carrying out and supervising measurements on the in-house hydropulse equipment to determine the Wöhler curves (time and fatigue strength range)

• Documenting and interpreting the results
