Abstract

Some researchers have estimated the strength of bolted joints in fibre reinforced composite, using simple and efficient engineering procedures. However, for these procedures the effect of clamping due to the strength of bolted joints is not considered. In this paper, a method is presented for predicating critical bearing strength of single-hole bolted joints in composite on the basis of observing and analysing the results of experiments. The clamping effect of bolts is considered. The calculated results correspond to the test data on Glaphic/Epoxy laminates.
