- Abstract
- This progress report summarizes the activities that have been performed under the sponsorship of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under contract no DEPT/95-G-012-0001 from May 1, 1997 to June 1, 1997. This program is considered to be a part of a special joint project between the FAA and the Boeing Company on the design of composite boltedjoints. The major effort of the joint project is to evelop the most advanced computer code for the analysis and design of bolted composite joints for the Boeing Compnay and the FAA. The major focus of the FAA program is on net-tension failure of composites containing a circular cutout with or without a mechanically tightened bolt, while the Boeing program focues on the bearing damage of bolted joints in both double and single lap joints. This report describes the activities under FAA funding. Both experimental and analytical work have been conducted.
