Abstract

A 3D finite element progressive damage model was established with ABAQUS software. The offset bearing failure load of the single countersunk bolt composite laminate joint was calculated, and the damage mechanism and failure course were analyzed. Laminate damage criteria and stiffness attenuation rules for this type of structure were applied and verified. The numerical results indicate good agreement with the test results, which prove validity of this model. The influence of the contact surface friction, bolt stiffness and stiffness of the connecting metal plate on the joint tensile property is studied. The results show that the contact surface friction factor and bolt stiffness have a great effect on the joint tensile performance, but the effect of the metal plate stiffness can be ignored almost.
