Abstract

The aim of this study is to scrutinize the effect of nano-additions on failure modes and loads of glass-epoxy laminate subjected two parallel pin-loaded holes, experimentally and numerically. Furthermore, the effect of physical and geometrical parameters such as the ratio of free edge distance of laminated composite to holes diameter (e/d) and the ratio of centre to centre distances of holes to holes diameter (M/d) have been investigated. Afterwards, to exactly prognosticate failure modes and the ultimate load obtained from the experimental procedure, a numerical simulation in finite element software was implemented. There have found a close agreement between two methods. It should be acknowledged that after augmenting glass-epoxy laminate with nano-addition A12O3, there was seen to be a clear difference between the two samples while the bearing strength of reinforced samples has been improved.
