Optimum design considerations for mechanically fastened composite joints
Optimum design considerations for mechanically fastened composite joints
- Composite Structures, 16(1-3), p.85-101, 1990 .
Various parameters amenable to the optimum design of mechanically fastened composite joints are identified. These are categorised into three groups denoted material, fastener and design. Particular emphasis is directed towards a new semi-empirical technique formulated to predict the strength of both pinned and bolted composite joints. The results show excellent agreement with previously published experimental data.
