RT Conference Proceedings T1 Evaluation of the geometry of single-lap adhesive joints in composite laminates A1 Moya Sanz, Elena María A1 Moreno Fernández-Cañadas, Lorena María A1 Iváñez del Pozo, Inés A1 García Castillo, Shirley Kalamis AB In this work, the influence of geometry on the mechanical behaviour of single-lap adhesive joints hasbeen analysed in order to evaluate its mechanical behaviour. Four configurations have been studied andcompared: 1) single-lap joint, 2) adherends chamfering, 3) adhesive chamfering, and 4) adhesive andadherends chamfering. A 2D finite-element model has been developed using Abaqus/Standard, in whichthe adhesive behaviour has been defined by a Cohesive Zone Model (CZM). The analysis has beencarried out in terms of failure load, peak peel stress, and peel stress distribution YR 2016 FD 2016 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10016/25719 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10016/25719 LA eng NO The authors are indebted for the financial support of this work to the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain (project DPI2013-42240-R).
