Temperature Effects on Damage Mechanisms of Hybrid Metal – Composite Bolted Joints Using SHM Testing Method
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents the quasi-static thermo-mechanical loading effects on the progressive damage mechanisms and failure modes of the single-bolt, single-shear, hybrid metal-composite, bolted joints in aerospace applications. A three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) technique was used to model the countersunk head bolted joint in details, including geometric and frictional based contact full nonlinearities and using commercial software PATRAN as pre/post-processor. The progressive damage analysis (PDA) in laminated (CFRP/ vinyl ester epoxy) composite material including nonlinear shear behavior, Hashin-type failure criteria and strain-based continuous degradation rules for different values of temperatures was made using SOL 400 NASTRAN solver. In order to validate the numerical results and close investigation of the fracture mechanisms for metal-composite bolted joints by determining ultimate failure loads, experiments were conducted in temperature controlled chamber using SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) technique. The results show that the thermal effects are not negligible on failure mechanism in hybrid aluminum-CFRP bolted joints having strong different thermal expansion coefficients. The complex 3D FEM model using advanced linear continuum solid-shell elements proved computational efficiency and ability to accurately predict the various failure modes as bearing and shear-shear out, including the temperature effects on the failure propagation and damage mechanism of hybrid metal-composite bolted joints.
