    Abstract

    This paper is a continuation of a previous paper [Nielsen, 2012] where the influ-ence on the temper stresses by drilling into tempered glass was investigated. In [Nielsen, 2012] it was shown that partly drilled holes in tempered glass would lead to higher compressive resid-ual hoop stresses at the hole increasing the apparent strength. Utilizing this for joints, raises new questions like the concentration of stresses arising at the hole for external loading of the pin and the glass.
    The present paper numerically investigates the shear load transfer for a specific configuration of the pin, the hole and the adhesive. In the paper a short discussion of the change in residual stresses due to the drilling and a FE-model for the loading of the pin in the hole is developed. From this model, the stress state occurring in such joints is investigated assuming both elastic and ideal plastic behaviour of the adhesive. Based on the numerical results, a proposal for an op-timal configuration using multiple pins is given.
