Increasing applications of adhesively bonded joints require understanding of the stress distribution along the bond-line and the stresses that are responsible for the joint failure. The effect of boundary conditions on the actual stress distributions of a single-lap adhesively bonded joint was investigated using the three dimensional finite element method. This paper brings out the detail of investigation carried out.
