A novel predictive model for mechanical behavior of single-lap GFRP composite bolted joint under static and dynamic loading

Strain rate effects on the mechanical behavior of single-lap glass/carbon nanofiber/epoxy composite bolted joints

“…This phenomenon was also reported by Wang et al. 28 Moreover, our results showed that at a constant level of load by increasing the strain rate, the amount of damage was decreased. It was also shown by Portemont et al.…”

High rate loading of hybrid joints in a Split Hopkinson Tension Bar

“…Mechanically fastened joints have been tested at elevated rates of loading by many different authors [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Based on these studies it can be concluded that the geometry and the material of the components being joined play a major role in determining the failure mode of the joint.…”

“…This, in turn, often determines whether rate dependence is seen in the joint response. For example, some studies [3,4,6,8,9] report a significant increase in dynamic strength or energy absorption, whereas some studies indicate no loading rate effect [5,7]. This highlights the importance of testing the joint in a configuration as near as possible to the intended application.…”

“…There are some reports in the literature on the testing of mechanical and hybrid joints with the SHB technique [3,7,9,[15][16][17]. Based on these works it seems that high rate testing of joints with the SHB technique is feasible, but generally accepted methods are still lacking.…”

Development of experimental and numerical methodologies for the investigation of composite and hybrid metal-composite fastened joints subjected to impact loads

“…Along similar lines, Wang et al [260] developed a spring-mass model for a hybrid metal-composite bolted joint which accounts for strain rate dependency in the stiffness and introduces the Tsai-Hill criterion for strength predictions.…”
