Abstract:
The present paper aims to demonstrate the capabilities of the Composite Bolted Joint Element (CBJE) methodology in the framework of single-lap multi-bolt joints analysis. This FE modeling approach exploits the CBJE, a user-defined finite element. It is founded on the complete elastic characterization of the bolted region through analytical models.
