Abstract
Proper design of friction-type bolted joints for composite materials accounts for the force transmitted through friction between the clamped materials. This consideration requires knowledge of the coefficient of friction between the mating surfaces of the bolt, or washer, and the composite material. In this study, the static and kinetic coefficients of friction between standard washers and a graphite fibre-reinforced epoxy composite are found as a function of clamping force and outer ply angle.
