An experimental study on mechanical behavior and failure mechanism of sleeved fasteners and conventional bolt for composite interference-fit joints

Guanhua Xu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of different fasteners on the mechanical behavior and failure mechanism of composite interference-fit joints. Results indicate that interference-fit with sleeved fasteners significantly improves bearing performance in joints, with initial failure load and ultimate bearing strength being higher than conventional bolts.

Enhancing the performance of bolted joints in composites by use of patched steel or titanium inserts

Sahar Akbarpour et al.

Summary: The study investigates the interlacing of metal inserts into composite laminates to improve the bearing strength of holes, with particular emphasis on the significant enhancements observed when using titanium inserts. By comparing different implementations of the insert concept and using different metals in the inserts, the study shows that the inserts not only increase bearing strength but also improve open-hole tension performance.

3D-DIC strain field measurements in bolted and hybrid bolted-bonded joints of woven carbon-epoxy composites

Masoud Mehrabian et al.

Summary: In this study, the 3D digital image correlation technique was used to study the tensile behaviors of single-lap bolted and hybrid bolted-bonded joints. The results show that hybridization can mitigate stress concentration around bolts, delay damage initiation, reduce secondary bending and twisting, and improve strength retention, while maintaining a balance between bypass and bearing loads in multi-bolt fastened joints.
