Bolt insertion damage and mechanical behaviors investigation of CFRP/CFRP interference fit bolted joints

Interference fit has advantages in improving fatigue behaviors of composite bolted joints; however, interference fit bolt insertion tends to cause damages in laminates weakening joint mechanical properties. Therefore, an experimental study was conducted to investigate bolt insertion damages of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)/CFRP interference fit bolted joints. Mechanical behaviors of joints were also evaluated experimentally under both quasi-static loads and cyclic loads. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and high-resolution X-ray micro-CT scan were used to examine micro damages in laminates. Damage and failure behaviors of joints were characterized. The results demonstrated that the hole entrance in upper laminate and the laminate boundary near the hole wall were the most critical regions for damages during bolt insertions. However, the influence of those damages on quasi-static failure loads and fatigue failure modes of joints was minimal. Delamination and matrix cracking occurred first in laminates following fiber and matrix fracture in quasi-static tensile tests. Interference fit could improve the fatigue resistance of the laminate hole; however, the bolt seemed to suffer a more critical local fatigue loading condition. This paper can contribute to composite structure designs, especially in understanding damage and failure behaviors of composite bolted joints.

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of a multi-link manipulator with flexible links-joints mounted on a mobile platform

The present work theoretically demonstrates the dynamic analysis of a planar multi-link manipulator considering flexible links and joints mounted on a moving base. A nonlinear model of a multi-manipulator (N-links) has been developed accounting for an equivalent bi-directional mobile base. The nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli beam and spring-inertia/mass system have been introduced to demonstrate the flexibilities of links and joints, respectively. Modal analysis followed by trajectory analysis has been performed to investigate the behaviors of manipulator taking into account of accurate boundary conditions. Further, vibration characteristics, steady-state responses, and their stability at resonant situations due to joint motions and inertial coupling have been studied. Results of exploiting geometric and inertial coupling due to flexible arms on stability analysis of steady-state responses have been investigated and have been subsequently verified with the findings by directly solving the governing equations. Steady-state response characteristics to explore the dynamics of the multi-link manipulators under resonant states have been studied with the varying actuator mass, the flexibility of links, lifted payload, and joint parameters. The results thus obtained, deliver a useful insight into the position analysis and long-term behavior of multi-link flexible manipulators under harmonic hub-joint motions that shall further enable its proper vibration attenuation and control.

Integration of nanoindentation and finite element method for interpretable tensile properties:A cross-scale calculation method of uneven joints

Nanoindentation testing and its Reverse Analysis Method(RAM) show great potential in understanding the tensile properties of metallic alloys with various microstructures. Nevertheless,the tensile properties of heterogeneous materials such as nickel-based superalloy welded joints have not been well interpreted by combining the microstructures and nanoindentation results, due to their diverse and complex microscopic zones, which throws shade on the properties of separated zones in the material.

Review on residual stress and its effects on manufacturing of aluminium alloy structural panels with typical multi-processes

In the aerospace industry, integrated aluminium alloy plates and stiffened panels with high accuracy and performance attract significant interest. To manufacture these panels as integrity with high accuracy, multiple processes need to be utilised, such as machining, welding and forming. During the whole manufacturing chain, residual stresses can be generated and redistributed in the components among different processes. The residual stress would significantly affect the shapes and properties of the final products. Currently, these great effects are not well considered in the design and manufacturing processes. This paper aims to draw a general understanding of the residual stress generated in the pre-manufacturing processes and its effects on subsequent manufacturing processes. The mechanisms and distributions of residual stresses generated in typical pre-manufacturing processes of structural panels, including machining, welding and additive manufacturing (AM), are firstly summarised. The detailed effects of generated residual stresses on distortion and application properties in subsequent manufacturing processes are then concluded. In addition, current methods developed for the investigation of residual stress effect in multi-processes manufacturing are critically reviewed, including experimental, analytical, finite element (FE) and machine learning methods. Furthermore, the future development trend of methods for residual stress consideration and control in the design of manufacturing processes is summarised, providing comprehensive guidance to achieve the high accurate manufacturing of aluminium alloy structural components.
