Bearing strength and failure behavior of bolted composite joints (part II: modeling and simulation)

An experimental investigation on the bearing failure load of glass fibre/epoxy laminates

“…It is worth taking into account the results obtained by Hassan et al [3], Camanho and Matthews [4], Kelly and Hallström [5], Li et al [6], Lie et al [7], Ekh et al [8], Ekh and Schön [9], Vangrimde and Boukhili [10,11], Xiao and Ishikawa [12], Ireman [13], Yanet al [14], Starikov and Schön [15].…”

A finite-element approach for the analysis of pin-bearing failure of composite laminates

“…In detail, local bearing failure modes are characterized by a local laminate compressive failure caused by the bolt diameter which tends to crush the composite material. Pin-bearing failure mode of bolted FRP joints, locally associated with matrix cracks, is an important design problem that has attracted the interest of the international scientific community, as confirmed by the great number of researches carried out in the last years [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Results of these studies have highlighted that both geometric (e.g., bolt diameter, plate width and thickness, end distance) and material properties (e.g., fiber inclination angle, matrix type and fiber nature, stacking sequence) highly affect the strength and the failure mode of FRP-based jointed elements.…”

Mechanical Properties of Lab Joint Composite Structure of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers

“…Xiao and Ishikawa [6] analytically and numerically studied the bearing failure and performance of bolted composite joints. They used the finite element progressive damage model.…”
