| Abstract | ||||
| Bolts provide the prima'y means of connecting composite parts in the construction of aircrafts and aerospace vehicles. The objective of the present study is to determine the effect of bolt / hole clearance and the cut-off angle on the failure load and mode of laminated Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy laminates (GFRE) with 0.4 fiber volume fraction. Five clearance values were used. The results showed that the specimen Failure Load decreased by increasing the clearance value and the failure mode did not affected. Four cut of angles were tested. The results showed that the failure load decreased as the cut-off angle increased up to 30 ' and then increased | ||||
