Abstract
Results are presented for the compressive fracture strength of several Gr/Ep (AS/3501-5) laminates containing countersunk holes with both loaded and unloaded fasteners in place. Finite element stress analyses are presented which approximate the countersink geometry and the elastic contact problem. The average stress failure criterion is successfully used to predict the observed strengths in all cases considered.
