In the present research, effects of applying strain rate on the mechanical behavior of single-lap glass/CNF/epoxy composite bolted joints including, damage initiation bearing stress, 2% offset bearing strength, ultimate bearing strength, bearing chord stiffness, ultimate bearing strain, and energy absorption were studied. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program was conducted. The protruding head bolt was used, the clearance was considered to be near fit and a finger-tight bolt condition was applied to all joints. The dimensions of joints were chosen to promote the bearing failure mode based on the ASTM standard. Four types of single-lap bolted joints (SLJs) with lay-ups of [–45/0/45/90]s and [90/–452/45]s with and without CNFs were tested at strain rates in the range of 0.0048 s−1 to 0.89 s−1. Unlike the available experimental results, the results obtained by the present experiments showed that the strain rate has a significant effect on all the above-mentioned mechanical parameters of SLJs. Also, it was shown that employing CNFs improved the mechanical parameters of SLJs under quasi-static and dynamic strain rates.

The bearing strength of pin-loaded woven glass-fibre reinforced epoxy composites was investigated. As an alternative to the hole-drilling procedure, a novel composite manufacturing technique has been implemented for pin-hole creation. The bearing performance of composite joints manufactured using both techniques was compared. Specimen with various edge- distances to pin-hole diameter ratios (e/d) and, width to pin-hole diameter ratios (w/d) were tested. It was observed that composite joints manufactured using the novel technique sustained more load compared to the joints manufactured by the hole-drilling procedure. Geometrical parameters were found to be effective on failure modes, bearing strength and magnitude of sustained load.
