Composite materials parts manufacturing is based on the interactions of simultaneous as
well as consecutive process steps. These influence the composite part properties and …

Due to their superior advantage of strength-to-weight ratio, composite materials are mostly
preferred over conventional materials. However, machining composite materials is a big …

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 …

Low-velocity impact response of interply hybrid composites based on glass and carbon
woven fabrics as reinforcement and polymerized poly (butylene terephthalate)(PCBT) as …

The general definition of a novel finite element for structural analysis of composite bolted
joints is presented. The work aims to define an accurate and computationally efficient …

Quasi-static tensile behaviour and failure characteristics of composite single-lap single-bolt
sandwich joints with different geometric parameters are investigated experimentally and …

Composite bolted joints are commonly used in various load-bearing structures. However,
inevitable bolt-hole clearances in bolted joints reduce joint performance. Therefore, an …

There are several techniques for improving the bearing performance of laminated
composites, such as metal-bonded inserts, steered fiber, nano-reinforcements of the matrix …

Compared with flat laminates, curved composite laminates are more susceptible to wrinkle
defects which must be considered in the design and structural integrity assessment …

In present study, the buckling and crushing behavior of foam-filled glass-fiber reinforced
sandwich composite column under edgewise compression were investigated by …
