Effect of Variances and Manufacturing Tolerances on the Design Strength and Life of Mechanically Fastened Composite Joints

Abstract

The objective of this program is development of failure criterion and improved fatigue life prediction methodology of mechanically fastened joints in advanced composite structure. This report summarizes activity for the period 15 February 1978 to 30 June 1978. Program activities are divided into five tasks: Task 1 - Literature Survey; Task 2 - Evaluation of Joint Design Variables; Task 3 - Evaluation of Manufacturing and Service Anomalies; Task 4 - Evaluation of the Effect of Critical Joint Design Parameters on Fatigue Life; Task 5 - Development of Final Analyses and Correlation. This report documents Task 1 - Literature Survey activities. Summarized are the state-of-the-art in design and analysis of mechanically fastened composite joints, selected methodology, conclusions, and recommendations for the remainder of this program.
