Investigation on the mechanical behaviour of single-lap composite joints with countersunk bolts

In this thesis, the mechanical behaviour of 2-bolt single-lap CFRP joints with countersunk bolts is investigated, both numerically and experimentally. A detailed 3D non-linear FE model of composite bolted joints has been developed. The model replicates with good agreement the experimental tensile te...
