Abstract

A novel dynamic installation (DI) method is proposed to improve the problems of severe installation damage, small installable interference size, and low installation efficiency of traditional static installation (SI) methods for installing interference bolts in composite bolted structures. The stress distribution and CFRP damage around the hole wall due to interference fitting and subsequent cyclic loading were predicted by finite element simulations. In addition, the fatigue life of DI and SI specimens was evaluated and the fatigue failure mechanisms were discussed. The results showed that the DI method provides a visible improvement in fatigue life, which is about 4 times that of the SI interference specimens and 38 times that of the non-interference specimen. In addition, DI introduces relatively higher average residual compressive stresses than SI, especially at the inlet of the laminate, which also results in a more uniform distribution along the axial direction of DI specimens. Micromorphological analysis of the specimens after fatigue failure indicated that the uniform stress distribution and low initial installation damage at the assembly interface introduced by the DI method during interference fit prevents severe delamination and crack propagation in joints subjected to external cyclic loading, such as the SI specimen. Severe extrusion deformation of the hole wall and matrix crushing are the main failure modes of DI specimens. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the interference installation method of composite materials.
