The integrity of bolted joints is still a challenging problem owing to the gross or localized slip
at the interfacial surfaces of the joints when subjected to external disturbances such as …

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 …

The present paper is aimed at investigating the feasibility of the clinching process for joining
aluminum and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) thin sheets. Split dies with sliding …

Fiber-reinforced composite material plays a vital role in structural engineering due to its
lightweight and high strength ratio which becomes a key material in a mechanically fastened …

The experimental study presented herein, investigated the effects of bolt torque tightening
on the strength and fatigue design of bolted AS7/8552 fibre reinforced polymer laminates …

Structural applications that use multi-material structures in the transportation industry have
increased in recent years. Weight reduction in order to avoid excessive emissions is the …

The high‐performance epoxy‐based cocure manufacturing technique has been used to join
composite structures such as wings, frames, and ribs in aerospace applications. The present …

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 development of an enhanced analytical approach to predict the secondary bending of
single-lap composite bolted joints is presented. The enhanced accounts for the estimation of …
