Abstract
A fastenerless anti-peel adhesive joint includes a first part having a first surface and forming a first anti-peel feature including a first anti-peel surface, a second part having a second surface and forming a second anti-peel feature including a second anti-peel surface, and an adhesive disposed between the first and second surfaces and within the first and second anti-peel features. The adhesive connects the parts via adhesive bonds at the first and second surfaces and at the first and second anti-peel surfaces. The first and second anti-peel features are configured to load the adhesive bonds at the first and second anti-peel surfaces in shear stress when the fastenerless anti-peel adhesive joint is subjected to a peel force that is normal to the first and second surfaces such that the shear strength of the adhesive bonds at the first and second anti-peel surfaces prevents the parts from being peeled apart.
