Abstract
In this work, the influence of geometry on the mechanical behaviour of single-lap adhesive joints has
been analysed in order to evaluate its mechanical behaviour. Four configurations have been studied and
compared: 1) single-lap joint, 2) adherends chamfering, 3) adhesive chamfering, and 4) adhesive and
adherends chamfering. A 2D finite-element model has been developed using Abaqus/Standard, in which
the adhesive behaviour has been defined by a Cohesive Zone Model (CZM). The analysis has been
carried out in terms of failure load, peak peel stress, and peel stress distribution
