Abstract: An experiment investigation has been carried out with different kinds of specimens to investigate the failure mode and the damage load. The ultrasonic evaluations were used to show the situation of bearing damage near the hole. A numerical model by ABAQUS was established in order to point out the influence of different bolt types (protruding and countersunk joints), with or without gasket and joint types on composite joints. The study shows that the protruding joints are able to sustain 30% more load than the countersunk ones and the joints with gasket have higher load-carrying capability. The double-bolt joints can double the load-carrying capability as compared to the single-bolt joints.

Key words: composite, metal, mechanical joints, bearing damage, finite element analysis
