Abstract
The structural behaviour of a single-lap hybrid (bonded/bolted) composite joint subjected to a tensile external load was evaluated by means of the Finite Element Method (FEM). In particular, the distribution of stresses acting in its adhesive layer was compared with that relative to the case of a simply adhesive bonded joint. Furthermore, the load transferred by the bolt was determined at different characteristics of the adhesive and of the applied external tensile load, corresponding to both single and double bolt configuration. The obtained values were in turn compared with experimental data found in literature, so validating the produced numerical simulations.
