Hybrid bonding-fastening is an alternative joining technique that consists of simultaneous
adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening of the adherends. In this paper, pertinent …

This article proposes a fully three-dimensional finite element model, developed at the meso-
scale level, to predict the progressive damage behavior of a single-layer triaxially braided …

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 …

Single-lap, carbon–epoxy joints with countersunk fasteners were modelled using the
nonlinear finite element code Abaqus. A highly-detailed analysis of the stress distribution at …

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 …

This study examines a new approach to facilitate the convergence of upcoming user-
subroutines UMAT when the secant material matrix is applied rather than the conventional …

A three-dimensional, solid finite element model of a composite-aluminum single-lap bolted
joint with a countersunk titanium fastener is developed. The model includes progressive …

Three-dimensional explicit finite element modelling is used to predict the quasi-static
bearing response of typical countersunk composite fuselage skin joints. In order to …

This paper presents a very detailed FE model of a single lap composite bolted joint, with
countersunk fasteners, under static tensile load. The stress states of the CFRP plates and …

Modeling progressive failure of bolted composite joints under high bearing strains is
challenging due to the highly nonlinear geometric and material behavior and multiple …
