Abstract: Numerical models of single-fastener bolted lap joints are developed in which the effect of the head angle and height on joint elongation are studied for three fastener sizes, three panel materials, and several panel ...

Abstract: Nonlinear finite-element models are developed that predict the load-elongation behavior of conical-head bolted lap joints, and the load-elongation predictions are compared with experimental test data. The study is conducted ...

Abstract: Nonlinear finite-element models that predict the load-elongation behavior of single- and dual-bolted conical-head bolted lap joints are developed, and the load-elongation predictions are compared with experimental test ...
