Abstract

In this study, the failure behavior of two parallel pinned/bolted composite joints was investigated, experimentally. The laminated composite plates were produced from glass fibers and epoxy matrix. During the tests, various joint geometries and ply orientations were considered to decide the optimum joint geometry and suitable stacking sequence of the laminated composite plates for two parallel pinned/bolted joints. For these reasons, the distance from the free edge of the plate to hole diameter ratio (E/D) was changed from 1 to 5, the distance between two parallel holes to hole diameter ratio (K/D) was selected as 2 and 5, the distance from the lateral edge of the plate to hole diameter ratio (N/D) was taken as 2 and 3. The laminated plates were composed from 8 laminas to stuck onto together with three different orientations as [0°2 / 30°2]s, [0°2 / 45°2]s and [0°2 / 60°2]s. The experiments involved both pinned and bolted joint. Experimental results indicate that failure behaviors of pinned/bolted composite joints are strictly influenced from both orientations of laminated plates and geometrical parameters.
