Strength prediction in CFRP woven laminate bolted double-lap joints under quasi-static loading using XFEM

The current paper is concerned with modelling damage and fracture in woven fabric composite doublelap bolted joints that fail by net-tension. A 3-D finite element model is used, which incorporates bolt clamp-up, to model a range of CFRP bolted joints, which were also tested experimentally. The effec...
