Abstract

The paper deals with the structural response of mechanically fastened fiber-reinforced laminated thermoplastic composite joints. An experimental investigation was carried out to analyze the behavior of single-pinned joints made with woven glass-reinforced polypropylene composite laminates. A detailed experimental analysis was performed in order to predict the bearing response, failure strength, and failure mode of composite laminates containing a pin-loaded hole. The results obtained allow one to evaluate the influence of geometric parameters and the stacking sequence of laminates on the behavior of such joints.
