Abstract
A fiber steering technique using load path trajectories is applied to the manufacture of carbon fiber composite joints. This increased the initial failure strength in quasi-isotropic laminate joints by 12%, while the ultimate failure strength is increased by 33%. Moreover, the technique is able to provide more than double the efficiency of carbon laminate joints by reducing the ratio of joint width to bolthole diameter, w/d, from the standard value of 5 to a more compact value of 2.5, simultaneously maintaining the bearing strength of the laminate.
