Abstract
The fiber-reinforced polymeric (FRP) composite can be joined by adhesive bonding or mechanically fastening the composite element. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) and glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) are the most common types of polymers. Mechanically fastened or bolted joints do not need treatments, and the surface temperature and other environmental effects such as humidity do not affect its strength. In this research, the previous research that describes the behavior of the composite bolted joint (CBJ) is presented and summarized including the modes of failure of the CBJ, and the experimental works that explain the bearing failure (BF) of the CBJ. In addition, the effects of bolt clamping force (BCF) and techniques that are used to simulate the progressive failure and damage in composite materials and finite element simulation works are surveyed.
