NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF INTERFERENCE FIT ASSEMBLIES AND THE INFLUENCE OF VARYING THE LAMINATE THICKNESS

Philipp Fahr (Technical University of Munich) Roland Hinterhölzl (Technical University of Munich / Institute for Carbon Composites)

 

Numerical results of interference fit assemblies are compared with experimental and analytical. Reasons for better accordance of numerical results are discussed. Influence of laminate’s thickness on contact pressure investigated in a numerical study.

METAL REINFORCEMENT AROUND FASTENER HOLES IN COMPOSITES

Sahar Akbarpour (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) Stefan Hallström (KTH Royal Institute of Technology)

 

A local reinforcement concept is introduced where metal inserts are implemented in the form of stacked patches around fastener holes in composites. The specimens with optimized inserts show 50-60% improved bearing strength in pin-loaded tests.

SHEAR-OUT FAILURE BEHAVIOUR OF SURFACE STRUCTURED METALLIC Z-REINFORCEMENTS FOR CFRP LAMINATES AND JOINTS

Michael Juergens (Airbus Group Innovations) Manuel Tiago von Hafe Pérez Ferreira da Silva (Airbus Group) Elisabeth Ladstätter (Technical University of Munich / Institute for Carbon Composites)

 

A novel reinforcement technology for CFRP/CFRP adhesively bonded joints is presented as a substitute for riveting and bolting. Shear out failure behaviour is discussed and a bridging law is established for further investigations on a component level.

A BIPHASIC MODEL TO PREDICT THE COMPRESSION STRENGTH OF MISALIGNED THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE

Damien Guillon (CETIM) Dao Co (CETIM) Cyril Priem (GeM Nantes) Martin Antoine (GeM Nantes) Patrick Rozycki (Institut de Recherche en Génie Civil et Mécanique)

 

Compression strength obtained from a numerical biphasic model for thermoplastic and misaligned fibers are compared to experimental data. Choice of materials parameters are deeply discussed. The model provides interesting results if calibrated.
