A review on stress distribution, strength and failure of bolted composite joints
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, analytical models considering different material and geometry for both single and double-lap bolted joints were reviewed for better understand how to select the proper model for a particular application. The survey indicades that the analytic models selected for the adhesively single or double bolted lap joints, as well as T, scarf, and stepped joints, with linear material properties are mostly two dimensional and the studies on stress distribution and/or failure of the joint are performed either experimentally, analytically or by finite element method. The results seem to be generally accurate and adequate. Additionally, it was shown that any increase in the bolt-hole clearance leads to an increase in bolt rotation, as well as a decrease in bolt-hole contact area, and hence, a reduction in joint stiffness. Moreover, studies on hybrid joints have revealed that the proper choice of adhesive material in conjunction with bolts or rivets in a joint, allows for significant increase in the static and fatigue strength compared to similar pure bonded joints. Additionally, the results on hybrid scarf joints showed that it is vital to place fasteners closer to the ends of the overlap to suppress the peak peeling stresses and hence, delay the effects of early crack initiation in the adhesive layer...

Investigation on the Effect of Tigthening Torque on the Stress Distribution in Double Lap Simple Bolted and Hybrid (Bolted -Bonded) Joints
In this research, the effects of torque tightening on the stress distribution in double lap simple bolted and hybrid (bolted-bonded) joints have been investigated numerically. In order to determine the bolt clamping force value due to tightening torque in simple bolted and hybrid joints, which is necessary in numerical simulation, an experimental approach has been proposed. To do so, two kinds ...

Mechanical fasteners especially bolting is commonly used in joining carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite structures due to their good joinability and easy for maintenance characteristics. Since this approach involves with notching, a proper progressive damage model (PDM) need to be implemented and verified to capture existence of damages in the structure. A three dimensional (3D) fa...

In recent years, large composite structures have been used increasingly in the aerospace and naval industries. Such a large composite structure is mostly fabricated using the scarf joining technique so that multiple substructures can be connected together. Figure 1 shows three commonly used scarf joint configuration. Among the three, the step/overlap joint is considered as the strongest because...
full textThe Effect of Matrix Bond Failure on Stress Distribution in Short and Long Fibers of a Hybrid Composite Lamina
Abstract : The effect of a bond failure and its extent is studied on stress concentration in long fibers as well as stress distribution in short fibers and their surrounding matrix bays. The material is assumed to be a finite width hybrid composite lamina which is subjected to a tensile load of magnitude "P" at infinity. The surrounding matrix is assumed to take only shear (shear-lag theory). T...

Composites are being used extensively in several engineering applications. However, the efficiency of the joints used in joining composites and metals can be improved. To move towards a sustainable and environment friendly future, natural fibre composite material was used. Towards the above objective, research work was carried out for the assembly between a composite and aluminium. Three differ...
