Abstract
Composite materials have been widely used in civil aviation aircraft, but a large area of ablation damage occurs after lightning strikes, which threatens the operation safety of civil aviation aircraft. The composite material is fixed by multiple fasteners. The different installation positions of fasteners have a great influence on the result of lightning damage of composite. Based on these, a lightning ablation damage model of laminates with multiple fasteners is established, and the accuracy of the model is verified by comparing with the results in the references. In addition, the effect of different installation methods of multiple fasteners on the lightning ablation damage of laminates is studied. The results show that the number of fasteners is not the decisive factor among the factors that affect the ablation damage of laminates with multiple fasteners, and the installation layout of fasteners has an important impact on the damage results. When the fiber direction and aspect ratio of the laminate are the same, the maximum ablation damage area of terrible fasteners layout is 1.27 times the minimum ablation damage area of best fasteners layout under the action of lightning peak current of 200 kA.
