Summary:The canoeing boat industry is focused on providing the best possible characteristics to the users. Currently, the fabrication of canoeing boats is based on composite materials, which find advantage in joining by adhesive bonding. The present work numerically studies, by cohesive zone modelling (CZM), an adhesive joint applied in a canoeing boat, namely the hull/deck joint. The numerical workplan includes the currently used joint configuration and adhesive in the analysis, while different joint configurations and adhesives were also tested. Initially, the CZM approach was validated with experimental results taken from the literature. As a result, CZM was positively validated, followed by numerical assessment of the best geometry-adhesive combination, which significantly improved on the current used joint.
