Keywords: Adhesive bonded joint, single-lap joint, nonlinear finite element analysis.

Bonded joints are an usual connection in aerospace industry.An issue in this joints in constituted by the evaluation of stresses in adhesive material. In tbis paper several discretizations of bonded joints using finite element models have been studied and the conclusion arised by the numerical results are included.
