The evaluation of joint fatigue strength of light weight materials for electrical vehicle body has been performed through single lap joint tests with the design parameters such as joint style. adherend. bonding overlap length and bonding thickness. It is experimentally observed that lap fatigue strength of joint increases for the increase of overlap length. The. combinations of AI-AI and AI-FRP adherends show that lap fatigue strength of joint. is hardly changed for the increase of bonding thickness. but FRP-FRP adherend specimen shows that lap fatigue strength of joint increases after decreases for the increase of bonding thickness. AI-AI adherend specimen has much higher lap fatigue length than AI-FRP and FRP-FRP adherend specimens. Riveting at adhesive bonded joint gives the little effect on lap fatigue strength.<br/>
