Abstract

Composite bolted joints have extensive application in aerospace and marine equipment. Failure analysis and strength prediction are crucial steps in the design of composite bolted joints. This study proposes a method that can accurately analyze the progressive bearing failure and static strength of composite bolted joints under different initial assembly parameters. This method first obtains an accurate initial assembly state based on the high-fidelity finite element model with detailed thread structure. Then it uses this as an input to analyze the progressive bearing failure process and the bearing strength value. Using the above method, the formation and evolution mechanism of the tightening yielding phenomenon during the assembly process are analyzed. And the influence of the two key assembly parameters, washer type and initial bolt tension, on the bearing strength of composite bolted joints is analyzed. The experimental results verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the simulation methods and results.
