复合材料螺接修理结构参数化建模分析工具开发及验证

螺接修理在复合材料结构的临时性修理,尤其是战伤修理中应用较广泛。然而其修理设计过程较复杂,建模分析难度较大,难以满足工程快速定参的需要。本文针对含穿透损伤复合材料层合板的螺接修理问题,采用VB.NET结合p型有限元技术,开发了一套参数化的建模分析工具。分析工具通过界面读取修理结构的几何参数、螺栓布局、螺栓大小、载荷、材料属性等参数,自动创建有限元模型并进行求解。根据求解结果,分析工具可为用户提供修理结构的螺栓载荷、钉载比例、危险孔孔边应力等。另外,通过引入有限断裂力学,结合两级模型分析技术可预测得到修理结构的失效强度和失效位置。最后,采用典型算例对分析工具的有效性进行了验证。     

A global bolted joint model for finite element analysis of load distributions in multi-bolt composite joints

This paper presents the development and validation of a global bolted joint model (GBJM), a highly efficient modelling strategy for bolted composite joints. Shell elements are used to model the composite laminates and the bolt is represented by a combination of beam elements coupled to rigid contact surfaces. The GBJM can capture effects such as bolt–hole clearance, bolt-torque, friction between laminates, secondary and tertiary bending in the laminates as well as the load distribution in multi-bolt joints. The GBJM is validated using both three-dimensional finite element models and experiments on both single- and multi-bolt joints. The GBJM was found to be robust, accurate and highly efficient, with time savings of up to 97% realised over full three-dimensional finite element models.     

Hybrid titanium–CFRP laminates for high-performance bolted joints

This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the mechanical response of bolted joints manufactured using new hybrid composite laminates based on the substitution of CFRP plies with titanium plies. The local hybridization of the material is proposed to increase the efficiency of the bolted joints in CFRP structures. Two modeling strategies, based on non-linear finite element methods, are proposed for the analysis of the bolt-bearing and transition regions of the hybrid laminates. The bolt-bearing region is simulated using a three-dimensional finite element model that predicts ply failure mechanisms, whereas the free-edge of the transition region is simulated using plane stress and cohesive elements. The numerical and experimental results indicate that the use of hybrid composites can drastically increase the strength of CFRP bolted joints and therefore increase the efficiency of this type of connection. In addition, the numerical models proposed are able to predict the failure mechanisms and the strength of hybrid composite laminates with a good accuracy.     

Avoiding self-loosening failure of bolted joints with numerical assessment of local contact state

Fatigue and rotational self-loosening are two most widespread reasons for failure of dynamically loaded bolted joints, especially due to external loading perpendicular to the bolt axis (transverse loading). More and more component systems show self-loosening in light weight design. The aim of this paper is to provide a numerical design method with finite element analysis for detecting and understanding of the self-loosening process at bolted joints and the influences of the preload generation for the residual shank torque in the numerical simulation.A three-dimensional finite element (FE) model is established to study details of the rotational self-loosening process. Such processes are characterized by either complete or localized slip at the screw head and thread contact surfaces. Detailed information is given about the modelling. The computational results of the numerical simulation are compared with experimental investigations of the cyclic transverse load–displacement behaviour. These show that rotational self-loosening can also occur for only localized slip without complete slipping at the head contact surface.

A highly efficient user-defined finite element for load distribution analysis of large-scale bolted composite structures

This paper presents the development of a highly efficient user-defined finite element for modelling the bolt-load distribution in large-scale composite structures. The method is a combined analytical/numerical approach and is capable of representing the full non-linear load-displacement behaviour of bolted composite joints both up to, and including, joint failure. In the elastic range, the method is generic and is a numerical extension of a closed-form method capable of modelling the load distribution in single-column joints. A semi-empirical approach is used to model failure initiation and energy absorption in the joint and this has been successfully applied in models of single-bolt, single-lap joints. In terms of large-scale applications, the method is validated against an experimental study of complex load distributions in multi-row, multi-column joints. The method is robust, accurate and highly efficient, thus demonstrating its potential as a time/cost saving design tool for the aerospace industry and indeed other industries utilising bolted composite structures.     

液体垫片对复合材料单搭接螺栓接头力学性能的影响

复合材料构件由于存在制造误差,装配时常常产生间隙,消除间隙的一种基本手段是向其中填充液体垫片。以复合材料单搭接螺栓连接接头为研究对象,设计了拉伸实验,选取一种改进的失效准则与对应的材料退化准则建立了渐进损伤有限元分析（FEA）模型,在此基础上研究了液体垫片对复合材料单搭接接头强度、刚度等力学性能的影响及复合材料孔内损伤演化的过程,此外还研究了液体垫片孔边的应力-应变状态。由实验与有限元结果可以得出：随着液体垫片厚度的增加,接头的拉伸刚度与峰值载荷均有所降低;相同载荷下复合材料孔内损伤加剧,孔内单元产生初始损伤时对应的载荷降低;但液体垫片厚度的增加可以降低垫片孔边的应力与塑性应变峰值,并使其分布更加均匀化,改善液体垫片孔边受力状态。     

Optimum bolted joints for hybrid composite materials

The optimum bolted joints for hybrid composite materials composed of glass-epoxy and carbon-epoxy under tensile loading were investigated. The design parameters considered for the bolted joints were ply angle, stacking sequence, the ratio of glass-epoxy to carbon-epoxy, the outer diameters of washers and the clamping pressure. As bearing failure was desirable for bolted joints, the geometry of the bolted joint specimen was designed to undergo bearing failure only.

By inspecting the fracture surfaces of the specimens it was found that delamination on the loaded periphery of the holes and extensive damage on the edge region constrained by a washer occurred. To assess the delamination of the hybrid composite materials, three-dimensional stress analysis of the bolted joint was performed using a commercial finite-element software and compared with the experimental results.     

A three-dimensional progressive damage model for bolted joints in composite laminates subjected to tensile loading

A three-dimensional progressive damage model was developed to simulate the damage accumulation and predict the residual strength and final failure mode of bolted composite joints under in-plane tensile loading. The parametric study included stress analysis, failure analysis and material property degradation. Stress analysis of the three-dimensional geometry was performed numerically using the finite element code ANSYS with special attention given to the detailed modelling of the area around the bolt in order to account for all damage modes. Failure analysis and degradation of material properties were implemented using a set of stress-based Hashin-type failure criteria and a set of appropriate degradation rules, respectively. In order to validate the finite element model, a comparison of stress distributions with results from analytical models found in the literature was carried out and good agreement was obtained. A parametric study was performed to examine the effect of bolt position and friction upon damage accumulation and residual strength.

针对中国缺少T800级复合材料螺栓连接设计参数的问题,发展一种综合连续损伤力学（CDM）和工程算法的单剪连接强度估算策略,以替代试验,降低研究周期和成本。在该强度估算策略中,首先建立试件的CDM有限元模型,通过数值模拟得到单剪螺栓连接的设计参数,包括单剪挤压强度修正系数、无缺口层合板拉伸强度和应力集中减缓因子等。随后根据上述参数,建立工程算法,估算复合材料单剪螺栓连接的最终挤压强度。结果表明:通过该策略得到的T800级复合材料螺栓连接设计参数和强度估算结果与试验结果有较好的一致性,说明该强度估算策略的可行性。      

过盈配合和预紧力的混合作用对复合材料机械连接结构的影响及其机制

为研究钉孔过盈配合情况和紧固件预紧力及二者混合作用对复合材料连接强度的影响及其机制,提出了一种基于试验验证的有限元方法,在有限元模拟结果与两组不同配合复合材料与钛合金单剪双钉连接拉伸试验吻合良好的基础上,进一步模拟6种不同螺栓预紧力和7种不同钉孔配合模式的组合,共42种不同情况的结构承载能力。通过对模拟结果的分析发现：一定的干涉配合值和预紧力虽然可能导致钉孔周围在受载较小时提前出现较小破坏,但在载荷较大时反而可以改善孔周的接触条件,从而减小孔周的纤维破坏范围,并最终提高连接结构的破坏载荷。而且钉孔配合情况和螺栓预紧力对连接结构承载能力会相互影响,即在不同钉孔配合情况下所得到的紧固件预紧力优化值会有所不同,反之亦然。因此在进行复合材料机械连接结构承载能力优化时,必须同时考虑不同参数的影响,才能获得最优的结构设计。     

Mechanical Behavior of CFRP Lattice Core Sandwich Bolted Corner Joints

The lattice core sandwich structures have drawn more attention for the integration of load capacity and multifunctional applications. However, the connection of carbon fibers reinforced polymer composite (CFRP) lattice core sandwich structure hinders its application. In this paper, a typical connection of two lattice core sandwich panels, named as corner joint or L-joint, was investigated by experiment and finite element method (FEM). The mechanical behavior and failure mode of the corner joints were discussed. The results showed that the main deformation pattern and failure mode of the lattice core sandwich bolted corner joints structure were the deformation of metal connector and indentation of the face sheet in the bolt holes. The metal connectors played an important role in bolted corner joints structure. In order to save the calculation resource, a continuum model of pyramid lattice core was used to replace the exact structure. The computation results were consistent with experiment, and the maximum error was 19%. The FEM demonstrated the deflection process of the bolted corner joints structure visually. So the simplified FEM can be used for further analysis of the bolted corner joints structure in engineering.     

Dimensioning method for bolted,adhesively bonded,and hybrid joints involving Fibre-Reinforced-Polymers

The overall performance and efficiency of any structure depend on the connections that join their components; as such they constitute the most critical component. This is particularly true for hybrid structures, where joining of components, either between Fibre-Reinforced-Polymers (FRPs) and/or to other materials is mostly achieved by the means of mechanical fasteners or, less commonly, adhesively bonding. Since these two joining methods come from radically different backgrounds, the resulting design procedures are almost incompatible. This paper aims to hand practitioners a unified dimensioning procedure for the two most frequent fastening methods in FRP structures, i.e. bolted and adhesively bonded joints. Relatively simple double-lap joints connecting flat FRP lamellas and complex joints between FRP tubes and lamellas connected by the means of aluminium brackets were experimentally tested. The joints were numerically investigated using three dimensional finite element analyses coupled to a probabilistic post-processing routine for strength prediction, which subsequently was validated against the experimental data. Good agreement between experimental and predicted strength was achieved, which validates the design process and allows generalising for dimensioning of the bolted and bonded joints in FRP structures. The presented approach opens the door for the practical design of a wide variety of joints encountered in FRP structures, thus overcoming a major problem limiting the widespread of composite construction.     

An analytical model for the prediction of through-thickness stiffness in tension-loaded composite bolted joints

This paper presents the development of an analytical model for replicating the through-thickness stiffness of single-bolt, single-lap composite joints subjected to secondary bending. The model is an extension of a spring-based method, where bolts and laminates are represented by a series of springs and masses. The model accounts for extension of the bolt, the stiffness of the clamped region of the joint due to bolt torque, as well as the flexural stiffness and anticlastic curvature within the laminates. In order capture bolt extension and the stiffness of the clamped region, a closed form approach is used. An approximation approach is used to model flexural stiffness and anticlastic curvature within the laminates. The method is validated against detailed three-dimensional finite element models of bolted composite plates and good agreement was obtained. The method is subsequently employed to calibrate the through-thickness stiffness of single-bolt, single-lap joints in highly-efficient numerical models.     

An analytical model for the prediction of load distribution in highly torqued multi-bolt composite joints

This paper presents the development of an enhanced analytical approach for modelling the load distribution in multi-bolt composite joints. The model is a closed-form extension of a spring-based method, where bolts and laminates are represented by a series of springs and masses. The enhancement accounts for static friction effects between the laminates, a primary mechanism of load transfer in highly torqued bolted joints. The method is validated against detailed three-dimensional finite element models and where possible, experimental results. The effect of varying bolt-torque and bolt-hole clearance on the load distribution in a three-bolt, single-lap joint is investigated and the method proves to be robust, accurate and highly efficient. Finally, the method is employed in a parameter study, where increasing bolt torque levels can be used for achieving a more even load distribution in multi-bolt joints.     

Evaluation of approaches for determining design allowables for bolted joints in laminated composites

A procedure to determine design allowables for bolted joints in laminated composites is discussed in this paper. Approaches to acquire B-basis design allowables from extensive test information at the lamina/laminate level and the results of bolted joint tests with a small sample size were investigated and evaluated. Pin bearing and notched specimen tests and finite element analysis were conducted. The results indicate that these approaches are practical and cost-effective ways for determining the allowables. Further research, particularly with respect to the prediction accuracy, needs to be carried out to obtain a completely satisfactory result.

Effects of various parameters on dynamic characteristics in adhesively bonded joints

Adhesively bonded lap joints are used extensively in various industries. Some disadvantages like holes, thermal effects occurring in the bolted, welded, riveted, and soldered joints are not in question in adhesively bonded joints. Strong adhesive materials used in bonding have been greatly developed in recent years, and then the properties of lightness, sealing, corrosion resistance, heat and sound isolation, damping, and quickly mounting facility have been highly improved. In this work, effects of various dynamic characteristics in the adhesively bonded joints subjected to dynamic forces are investigated using the finite element method. The investigation is conducted on a three-dimensional model. The finite element model of the joint is obtained using isoparametric three-dimensional elements having eight nodes with three degrees of freedom each. Mesh generation is accomplished automatically in a computer.The joint is modeled as a thin plate clamped from the left side. The in-plane vibration analysis is constructed. First, the natural frequencies and mode shapes are obtained, and then point and transfer receptances are extracted, employing structural damping. It is observed that the damping greatly decreased the resonance amplitudes.
