Adhesive joints find numerous applications in various industrial fields. They represent a valid alternative to traditional joining methods. Much of the available scientific literature has focused on study adhesive subjected tensile loads. There have also been studies concerning stresses distributions layer. However, real case applications, could be subject cyclic tensile-compression loads and t...

Abstract Out-of-plane mechanical properties of the riveted joints restrict performance wing box assembly airplane. It is necessary to investigate pull-through composite/metal in order guide riveting design and ensure safety assembly. The progressive failure mechanism composite/aluminum joint subjected loading was investigated by experiments finite element method. A damage model based on Hashin-...

This paper presents both experimental and numerical studies on bolted glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) joints subjected to uniaxial tension different thermal conditions (?20 ?, 20 ? 60 ?). Laboratory tests are conducted obtain strength, elastic modulus deformation of the joints. The model is developed using discrete element method (DEM) that can predict not only above properties joints, bu...
