The paper explores the possibilities to reduce stress concentration in single-lap joints using dual adhesive. Distributions of stress, determined by finite element analysis, are compared for the following assembling cases: a) with a single rigid adhesive, b) with a single flexible adhesive, c) using both adhesives. In the latter case, each of the two adhesives is applied to a portion of the overlapping area. Finally, useful conclusions can be drawn for the rational design of overlapping assemblies
