Carbon/glass fibre-reinforced plastic (C/GFRP) offers advantages in engineering
applications due to its low cost. However, the mechanism underlying the evolution of …

A multiscale progressive damage modelling methodology for 3-dimensional (3D) woven
composites is presented. The proposed methodology is generic and can be implemented in …

The CFRP/Al countersunk rivet joints are one of the most fatigued dangerous points of the
aircraft fuselage. To deeply investigate the failure mechanisms of the riveted joint structures …

CFRP/Al countersunk riveting can meet the requirements of aircraft aerodynamic shape and
lightweight joining. This paper reports an experimental study on the forming mechanism and …

The Countersunk composite joints are widely utilized in the load-bearing components of
aerospace structures. However, hole-making causes local stress concentration, affecting …

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the single‐bolt single‐shear (SBSS) and
double‐bolt single‐shear (DBSS) lap joint performance of resin‐infused thermoplastic 3D …

This study presents the flexural performance and damage mechanism of three-dimensional
orthogonal woven E-glass/epoxy composites (3DOWC) modified with an innovative …

This study presents a comparison of off-axis tensile performance for notched (open-hole)
and unnotched (no-hole) 3D fibre reinforced composites (FRC) specimens having two …

This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the effect of bolt size and fibre
orientation on the bearing performance and damage mechanisms of single-bolt double …

The effect of local thickening with similar and different reinforcement materials for single-lap,
single-bolt basalt composite joints was investigated. A vacuum-assisted resin transfer …
