Comparative study between 2D and 3D FEM techniques in single bolt, single lap, composite bolted joints for space structures

Two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element models have been developed to study the effects of bolt-hole clearance on the mechanical behavior of bolted composites (graphite/epoxy) joints in space structures. The type of the studied joint was single bolt, single lap, and the geometry is a st...
