3.4 Optimization
This means:
- Joint design for shear and compressive forces *
- Adequate dimensioning of the bonding area
- Adapting the adhesive film thickness to the expected load s
- Avoiding peel stress es
- Protection of adhesive films, if necessary, from harmful media and radiation
- Avoiding hollow spaces
*Solely tensile stress es are in principle also unproblematic, but this situation seldom occurs.
