Abstract: In order to obtain the dynamic damage process of CFRP bolted joints, the failure criterion and material degradation model of CFRP bolted joints under tension load are established by using progressive failure method. The finite element model of bolted joints is established in the explicit analysis module of Abaqus Explicit, and analyzed by using VUMAT subroutine. Five kinds of damage extension processes of CFRP single bolted joints under tension load are analyzed, and the influence of bolt-hole fit clearance on the strength of CFRP single bolted joints is analyzed. On this basis, the strength optimization scheme of CFRP multi-bolt connection structure is put forward. The results show that the finite element dynamic analysis based on progressive failure method can effectively simulate the damage propagation process of CFRP bolted joints. The strength of CFRP single bolted joints decreases with the increase of fit clearance, and the overall strength of CFRP multi-bolted joints is increased by 32.1% by setting appropriate fit clearance.
