Factors affecting behavior of bolted joints in Fibre Reinforced
Composites
Failure modes and bearing strength - Important behavioural aspects to be studied for any bolted joint
By altering some factors - Desired failure mode and strength can be achieved
This factors are divided in Three distinct categories (Godwin et al. 1980) Material Parameters (i.e., Lamination scheme) Fastener Parameters (i.e., Tightening torque) Design Parameters (i.e., e/d ratio)
Need of the hour : Numerical models should be developed which can simulate behaviour of joints close to real life scenario
Model development & validation
Present study : A three dimensional finite element model – In Abaqus Verification against available results Development of user subroutine – Nonlinear model Validation of nonlinear model against available results Parametric studies

• Bolted composite joint - - Three dimensional in nature (Padhi et al. 2002)
• Clamping force, Bending of bolt, Delamination are in third dimension
• Plates also show out of plane deformations
• Three dimensional deformable solid parts
• Grip length excluded – Reduce analysis time
• Further partition of parts – Efficient meshing
• Parts are assembled together to form joint

Progressive failure analysis
• Abaqus do not provide damage modelling for 3D solid elements of Fibre reinforced composites therefore with default material library only linear analysis can be performed
• To implement damage models & non linear analysis one have to code user subroutines (UMAT, USDFLD, etc.)
• In present study user subroutine UMAT (User material) & USDFLD (User defined field variables) are coded in Fortran compiler & coupled with Abaqus solver to enhance material modelling capabilities of Abaqus• UMAT – Can model complex material constitutive relations (Gave convergence issues)
• USDFLD – Properties can be dependent on field variables (Used for Progressive failure in present study)
• Progressive failure analysis• Failure mode is evaluated (Fibre failure or Matrix failure)
• Corresponding properties are degraded
• Redistribution of stresses to other elements
Hashin’s failure theory
• Classical failure theories do not distinguish between fibre and matrix failure
• Hashin (1980) proposed new failure criteria for unidirectional fibre reinforced composites

• Detailed analysis of results obtained

Conclusions
• Linear & Non linear models – Good agreement with experiments & other simulations
• Parametric study – e/d ratio & Fibre orientation
• Following observations are made -
For e/d>2 o No major change in strength of jointo Stable failure mode is achieved
Composite with no 0° fibres – Very low strength Asymmetric fibre orientation – 50 % Higher strength then
laminate without 0° fibres and a stable failure mode is achieved
Use of 45° or -45° fibres – No noticeable change in strength and failure mode
