The present paper aims to demonstrate the capabilities of the Composite Bolted Joint
Element (CBJE) methodology in the framework of single-lap multi-bolt joints analysis. This …

A new set of failure criteria to predict composite failure in single-lap bolted-joints is
proposed. The present failure criteria are an extension of Chang–Lessard criteria …

Bolted joint is a common connection method in composite structure assembling. The initial
assembly state has a significant influence on the subsequent performance. To realize the …

Composite bolted joints are widely used on primary and secondary load-bearing structures
of aircrafts. However, investigating the damage progression and failure of composite bolted …

Bolted joints are the dominant connection method in assembling composite structures. To
investigate the failure mechanism of composite bolted joints under tensile loading, a three …

Ultrasonic inspection is widely used for non-destructive evaluation of composite adhesive
joints. However, there are serious challenges in applying ultrasonic testing on metal to …

Hybrid joints, combining adhesive bonding with mechanical fasteners, address the
limitations of traditional joining methods in restoring the integrity of aircraft structures. This …

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 aim of this paper is to present a simple and applicable model for predicting the dynamic
behavior of bolted joints in hybrid aluminum/composite structures and its model updating …

Structural sections of laminated bamboo can be connected using methods common in
timber engineering, however the different material properties of timber and laminated …
