This study analyzes delamination in CFRP adhesive joints under mode II loading in both static and dynamic regimes. The ENF test was used to evaluate the effect of exposure to salt spray and a climatic chamber over various periods—one, two, four, and twelve weeks—as well as for unaged specimens. Based on the experimental data, fatigue initiation curves (ΔG-N) and fatigue crack growth curves (G-da/dN) were constructed to analyze both degradation processes. In the fatigue initiation phase, the data were analyzed using a probabilistic model based on a Weibull distribution. The most relevant findings of this study are as follows: regarding the fatigue limits obtained for the adhesive joint under mode II fracture, a decrease in load-bearing capacity was observed due to degradation processes—around 20% under static loading conditions for salt spray exposure, and 25% for hygrothermal degradation. As for the fatigue crack growth phase, the crack propagation rates were found to depend on the specific environmental degradation process to which the tested specimens were subjected.
