Abstract
The experimental study presented herein, investigated the effects of bolt torque tightening on the strength and fatigue design of bolted AS7/8552 fibre reinforced polymer laminates. Damage initiation and final failure manifestation on the joints was investigated and presented using optical microscopy. Subsequent experimental result analysis explored the application domain of bolted joints within the airframe design sector, bound by the current...
