Abstract

An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the bearing stress of single-lap double bolted composite joints. The bearing stress of a group of specimen was presented and the relationship between the stress and strain was obtained. The experimental results show that the damage of the bolted joints was a progressive process; and the ultimate bearing stress depends not only on the laminates’ strength but also on the bolt strength. A finite element model was created based on the bolted joint specimen to simulate the loading – displacement response. The numerical results verified the experiment results qualitatively.
