Adhesive joint (3) for joining vehicle components (1, 2) together comprises an adhesive material (4) containing functional elements (E1) capable of converting a control signal into a mechanical stress within the joint and functional elements (E2) capable of converting a mechanical stress within the joint into a measurement signal for determining the mechanical loading state of the joint. An independent claim is also included for determining the prevailing mechanical loading state within an adhesive joint as above by sending a control signal to elements E1, converting the control signal into a mechanical stress by means of elements E1, converting the mechanical stress into a measurement signal by means of elements E2, and detecting the measurement signal from E2. |
