Abstract

An analytical model was developed to efficiently determine the bearing response of composite bolted joints under various rates of loading. The load carried by the bolt was determined via a series of piecewise continuous functions to represent the various states of damage in the joint as a consequence of the applied displacement. The model was compared to experimental data obtained from single-bolt, single-lap joints tested quasi-statically and at rates of 5 m/s and 10 m/s. A good correlation between the model and the experimental results was observed for all test cases considered.
