Implementation of Bolted Joints in Composite Materials

October 30, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am PDT

The majority of parts composed of composite materials are joined with other parts before becoming the final product. In addition to adhesive bonding, bolted joints are a common method of joining composites. They can be strong, and reliable, while allowing for disassembly if required.

In a previous AIM Event webinar, “Introduction to Bolted Joints in Composites”, advantages and disadvantages, the working principles of joints, failure modes, fastener types, and design considerations was presented. A recording of this can be found at: https://compositeskn.org/KPC/A369.

This webinar will further explore details of the implementation of bolted joints in composites. Including the effect of laminate layup schedules, joint and fastener dimensions, hole preparation and tolerance, and standard mechanical tests used to characterize joints. Results of in-house testing will be used to demonstrate various information presented.

Presenter:

Dr. Casey Keulen,
University of British Columbia
