An experimental study on the effect of bolt-hole clearance and bolt torque on single-lap,
single-bolt, countersunk composite joints are presented. The specimens were manufactured …

In this study, the bearing performance and cost efficiency of single-lap, single-bolt joint of
carbon/basalt hybrid composite were assessed. Two non-hybrid laminate joints (pure basalt …

An experimental study on the effect of joining interface condition (including shimming and
interface gap) on bearing response of single-lap, countersunk composite-aluminum bolted …

Bending of titanium bolts in in-plane loaded composite joints is potentially fatigue critical. We
propose an analytical model for calculation of bending stress in protruding and countersunk …

The effect of tightening torque and washer size on the performance of basalt natural fiber
composite joints was investigated experimentally. It was found that washer size is the main …

The composite‐aluminum hybrid bolted structures are widely used in aircraft. Due to low
molding accuracy of composite components, gaps always occur between components …

The quasistatic failure of composite-aluminium bolted joints is investigated experimentally
using the stereo Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique. Single-shear, two-bolt lap joints …

Liquid shims are often used to fill tolerance gaps between bolted joint plates in aircraft
structures. This paper presents an experimental and numerical study of the effect of liquid …

Modern aircraft is a high level product which makes its components and assemblies typically
built to much higher precision (tolerances as small as 3× 10− 4 on a relative basis) than …

This paper presented an experimental study on the effect of forced assembly on bearing
performance of single-lap, countersunk composite bolted joints. The forced assembly …
