Exposure to aggressive environmental conditions and specific loads necessitate precise
material selection and manufacturing techniques. Techniques such as overlamination …

Airplanes are inevitably subjected to various impact loading conditions in the event of
emergency landing. An airplane crash scenario is a complex nonlinear impact event which …

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

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of preload moment, moisture and
interference-fit on bearing strength and failure mode in pin-jointed and bolted carbon–epoxy …

An experimental and numerical study has been carried out to investigate the first failure load
and the bearing strength behavior of pinned joints of glass fiber reinforced woven epoxy …

CFRP/Ti pinned joints are widely applied on main load-bearing structures of aircrafts.
Understanding the dynamic behavior of the joints is important for optimal joint designs …

In this paper, extend finite element method (XFEM) is used to predict the failure of single-lap
bolted joints. To simplify calculation of XFEM model, composite laminates of joint are …

In this paper, the damage development process of glass–epoxy laminated composite pinned-
joints is investigated. To determine the effects of joint geometry and stacking sequence on …

This paper presents a numerical approach using the discrete element method to predict
strength and damage propagation of plates and bolted lap joints subjected to axial tension …

The aim of this study is to research the failure loads and failure modes of laminated woven-
glass—polyester composite plates with two parallel circular holes, which are subjected to …
