Abstract
The experimental and numerical results demonstrate that the corner and edge distance have a significant influence on the stress distribution and deflection of the glass panel: stresses and deformations are reduced with increasing corner and edge distance. However, from a certain distance the location of maximal stress and deflection will shift from the centre to the corner and edge causing the stresses and deformations to rise again. From the parametric study the influence of several material and geometrical parameters are investigated, and an optimal distance can be found. Increasing the glass thickness, the connection diameter, the adhesive stiffness and the adhesive thickness will have a positive effect on the occurring stresses.
