In order to extend the use of pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite
materials in civil engineering, a systematic study on pultruded GFRP laminate is important …

An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the effect of interference fit size
on fatigue life of double lap-type single bolted composite joints. Tension–compression …

The accurate determination of non-linear shear behaviour and fracture toughness of
continuous carbon-fibre/polymer composites remains a considerable challenge. These …

The present work deals with the failure and reliability analysis of composite pinned-joints
using theoretical models based on Weibull distribution function with experimental results for …

The prediction of the tensile strength of multi-bolted joints uses characteristics that are
obtained from the open-hole tension (OHT), bolt-filled hole tension (FHT), pin-loaded …

The development of an enhanced analytical approach to predict the secondary bending of
single-lap composite bolted joints is presented. The enhanced accounts for the estimation of …

Abstract Pultruded Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) are innovative structural elements that
are experiencing a steady increase in use for different structural applications. Due to their …
