Compression perpendicular to grain in timber – Bearing strength for a sill plate / Tryck vinkelrätt fibrerna hos trä – SylltryckKathem, Ali, Hussain, Tajdar, Kamali, Arman January 2014 (has links)
Timber is widely used in the construction industry, because of its availability and good properties. The compressive strength perpendicular to grain (bearing strength) is one property of wood which is important for structural design. The bearing strength is important for the behavior of the structure in all contact points between wooden members. The calculations models for bearing strength have been a subject of discussion for many years and the different building codes in Europe has treated it differently during the years. The aim of this thesis was to compare different calculations models for bearing strength with the results of an experimental study. In this study the bearing strength for a fully supported beam loaded with a point load was studied. Two different loading lengths were studied as well as loading in a point in the middle of the beam, at the edge of the beam and at a distance of 10 mm between the edge and the loading point. The loading was made with a steel stud. Calculations were also performed according to the following standards; Eurocode 5 (EN1995-1-1:2004) before and after amendment, the German Code (DIN 1052:2004), the Italian Code (CNR-DT 206:2006) and two versions of the Swedish Code (BKR). The results showed that the results from the new version of Eurocode 5 agreed best with the experimental results. The tested results, however, were lower than the values calculated using Eurocode (and all the other codes); this might be explained by the hard loading conditions using a steel stud instead of a wood stud.

Joining of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics for Automotive ApplicationsKelly, Gordon January 2004 (has links)
The introduction of carbon-fibre reinforced plastics in loadbearing automotive structures provides a great potential toreduce vehicle weight and fuel consumption. To enable themanufacture and assembly of composite structural parts,reliable and cost-effective joining technologies must bedeveloped. This thesis addresses several aspects of joining andload introduction in carbon-fibre reinforced plastics based onnon-crimp fabric reinforcement. The bearing strength of carbon fibre/epoxy laminates wasinvestigated considering the effects of bolt-hole clearance.The laminate failure modes and ultimate bearing strength werefound to be significantly dependent upon the laminate stackingsequence, geometry and lateral clamping load. Significantreduction in bearing strength at 4% hole deformation was foundfor both pin-loaded and clamped laminates. The ultimatestrength of the joints was found to be independent of theinitial bolt-hole clearance. The behaviour of hybrid (bolted/bonded) joints wasinvestigated both numerically and experimentally. Athree-dimensional non-linear finite element model was developedto predict the load transfer distribution in the joints. Theeffect of the joint geometry and adhesive material propertieson the load transfer was determined through a parameter study.An experimental investigation was undertaken to determine thestrength, failure mechanisms and fatigue life of hybrid joints.The joints were shown to have greater strength, stiffness andfatigue life in comparison to adhesive bonded joints. However,the benefits were only observed in joint designs which allowedfor load sharing between the adhesive and the bolt. The effect of the environment on the durability of bondedand hybrid joints was investigated. The strength and fatiguelife of the joints was found to decrease significantly withincreased ageing time. Hybrid joints demonstrated increasedfatigue life in comparison to adhesive bonded joints afterageing in a cyclic freeze/thaw environment. The strength and failure mechanisms of composite laminatessubject to localised transverse loading were investigatedconsidering the effect of the specimen size, stacking sequenceand material system. Damage was found to initiate in thelaminates at low load levels, typically 20-30% of the ultimatefailure load. The dominant initial failure mode wasintralaminar shear failure, which occurred in sub-surfaceplies. Two different macromechanical failure modes wereidentified, fastener pull-through failure and global collapseof the laminate. The damage patterns and ultimate failure modewere found to depend upon the laminate stacking sequence andresin system. Finite element analysis was used to analyse thestress distribution within the laminates and predict first-plyfailure.

Bearing strength and failure behavior of hybrid composite laminates.Prasad, Hanasoge Saraswathi Deepthi January 2020 (has links)
Composite layups have been continuously used over many years in various applications. It is necessary to optimize its composition by studying various parameters influencing the mechanical properties and studying the failure behavior. In this master thesis, the objective was to test five different plies manufactured using thick and thin plies and various combinations of thick and thin laminates called hybrid laminates. Bearing tests are performed for five layups with each layer has its thickness varying from 40μm to 130μm, and a combination called hybrid laminate, and the results from the tests are investigated. The resulting system has a good performance with onset damage above 700 MPa and an ultimate failure above 1130 MPa, using fibers' full potential. Also, the different failure modes like fiber kinking, matrix crack, delamination, and their effect on the layup's strength are investigated using fractography. This paper also investigates the influences of the thickness of the laminate on the strength of hybrid composites jointed using different mechanisms, and its failure modes are checked. Results from this experiment are used to validate in the form of FEM model, which is a part of an internal project at RISE SICOMP AB. This thesis is suitable for an engineering student in mechanical engineering, material science interested in composite materials and fractography.

Numerical analysis of a bearing strength in delaminated composite joint / Numerisk analys av bärförmågan hos en delaminerad kompositfogKukkonen, Olavi January 2023 (has links)
Composite structures are commonly joined using adhesive or mechanical joints, withmechanical joints being preferred when components need to be removable for maintenancepurposes. However, the presence of mechanical joints introduces a discontinuity in theload path, which can serve as an initiation point for failure and needs to be taken intoaccount in the design of the joint. Additionally, delaminations may occur around thefastener hole during the manufacturing and assembly processes, further impacting thestrength of the laminate under compressive loading. While some studies have assessedthe residual strength of open-hole specimens, limited information exists regarding theresidual bearing strength in delaminated composite joints. This study aims to assessthe significance of delaminations of varying sizes on the bearing strength of single-bolt,single-lap shear joints under static loading using numerical analysis methods. The effectsof countersinking and bolt size are also examined. Stress and progressive failure analysisare utilized to evaluate different parameters and account for the nonlinear behavior of thematerials. The study reveals that the presence of delamination leads to degradation ofthe bearing strength of approximately five percent when bolt pretension is applied and15 percent in the absence of pretension. Countersinking increases maximum and averagestresses on the cylindrical section of the hole, while a larger bolt size enhances bearingstrength by reducing bolt bending in single-lap shear joints. / Kompositstrukturer sammanfogas vanligtvis med hjälp av lim eller mekaniska fogar,där mekaniska fogar är att föredra när komponenter måste kunna demonteras förunderhållsändamål. Mekaniska fogar introducerar dock en diskontinuitet i lastvägen, somkan fungera som en startpunkt för strukturella fel och måste beaktas vid utformningenav fogen. Dessutom kan delaminering uppstå runt fästelementhålet under tillverkningsochmonteringsprocesserna, vilket ytterligare påverkar laminatets tryckhållfasthet. Någrastudier har utvärderat resthållfastheten hos prov med öppna hål, men det finns begränsadinformation om den resterande tryckhållfastheten vid hålkanten hos delamineradekompositfogar. Denna studie syftar till att bedöma påverkan av delamineringar avvarierande storlek på tryckhållfastheten vid hålkanten hos enskärsförband med ettfästelement under statisk belastning med hjälp av numeriska analysmetoder. Ävenpåverkan av försänkning och bultstorlek undersöks. Analyser av spänning och progressivskada används för att utvärdera olika parametrar och ta materialens olinjära beteendetill hänsyn. Studien ställer fast att förekomsten av delaminering leder till en försämringav tryckhållfastheten vid hålkanten med cirka fem procent när fästelementet är underförspänning och 15 procent utan förspänning. Försänkning av fästelementets huvud ökarmaximala och genomsnittliga spänningar på den cylindriska delen av hålet, medan enstörre bultstorlek höjer tryckhållfastheten vid hålkanten genom att minska bultböjningen ienskärsförband.

Cold-Formed Steel Bolted Connections without Washers on Oversized and Slotted HolesSheerah, Ibraheem 05 1900 (has links)
The use of the cold-formed steel sheet bolted connections without washers is so significant; however, the North American Specifications for the Design of Cold Formed Steel Structural Members, NASPEC, doesn't provide provisions for such connections. The bearing failure of sheet and the shear failure of sheet were considered in this study. For the sheet shear strength, it was found that the NASPEC (2007) design provisions can be used for oversized holes in both single and double shear configurations and for the double shear connections on short slotted holes. For the sheet bearing strength, a new design method was proposed to be used for low and high ductile steel sheets. The method was compared with the NASPEC and the University of Waterloo approach. Washers were still required for single shear connections on short slotted holes. Besides, connections using ASTM A325 bolts yielded higher bearing strength than connections using ASTM A307 bolts.

Cold-Formed Steel Bolted Connections Using Oversized and Slotted Holes without WashersXu, Ke 08 1900 (has links)
In cold-formed steel (CFS) construction, bolted connections without washers for either oversized or slotted holes may significantly expedite the installation process and lower the cost. However, the North American Specification (AISI S100, 2007) for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members requires washers to be installed in bolted connections with oversized or slotted holes. A research project (Phase 1) sponsored by American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) was recently completed at the University of North Texas (UNT) that investigated the performance and strength of bolted CFS connections with oversized and slotted holes without using washers. The research presented in this thesis is the Phase 2 project in which the bolted CFS connections were studied in a broader respect in terms of the failure mechanism, the material thickness, and the hole configurations. Single shear and double shear connections without washers using oversized holes, oversized combined with standard or slotted holes were experimentally examined. Combined with Phase 1 results, the Phase 2 gives a comprehensive evaluation of the behavior and strength of bolted CFS connections with oversized and slotted holes without using washers. Revisions to the existing AISI North American Specification requirements for bolted connections are proposed to account for the reduction in the connection strength caused by the oversized and slotted hole configurations without washers. Specific LRFD and LSD resistance factors and ASD safety factors for different hole configurations in terms of the new proposed methods were presented.

Investigation of ASTM E 238 Bearing Pin Properties for Various Aerospace AlloysLee, Trevor J 01 January 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Aircraft are often designed with numbers determined by testing in a lab, rather than by repeatedly building prototypes. These lab tests conform to testing specifications so that the numbers can be compared between manufacturers, suppliers, and lab technicians. One such specification is ASTM specification E238 – 84(08), and it is used to determine important properties of a bearing pin joint like hinges, bolt holes, and rivet joints. The properties determined from this fastener-through-plate method are bearing strength, bearing yield strength, and bearing stiffness.
Adhering to the methods outlined in ASTM E238, a study was performed, looking at the effects that plate material, fastener used, fastener lubrication, and plate hole preparation method (whether drilled and reamed or just drilled) have on the three bearing joint properties. The plate materials used were Al 7050 – T7451, Ti – 6Al – 4V (mill annealed), and PH13 – 8Mo – H1000. The fasteners were Ti – 6Al – 4V screws, coated A286 screws, and high speed steel (HSS) pins used as a control. Lubrication was tested using a corrosion inhibitor, PR – 1776M B – 2 from PRC – DeSoto, on the fastener or leaving the fastener uncoated. The HSS pins were always tested in the uncoated condition. 54 runs were performed, as outlined by a D-optimal design of experiment.
It was discovered from the statistical analysis of the results via ANOVA that both the plate material used and the pin material, whether a screw or a pin, had a significant effect on the bearing strength, bearing yield strength, and bearing stiffness. The interaction between the two factors was also significant on all responses but the bearing stiffness. PH13 – 8Mo – H1000 plates seemed to perform best on average, followed by Ti – 6Al – 4V plates, then Al 7050 – T7451 plates. PH13 – 8Mo – H1000 and Ti – 6Al – 4V plates had similar bearing strength and bearing yield strength averages with the HSS control pins being used, which had the highest mean values for a given plate and fastener. The Ti – 6Al – 4V and A286 screws behaved and performed statistically similar in most cases, except when hole preparation method was take into account. The Ti – 6Al – 4V screws performed better when the hole was drilled and reamed, while the coated A286 screws performed better when the hole was drilled only. All screws had lower resulting bearing properties than the HSS control pins.
It was also found that ASTM specification E238 – 84(08) is a precise test method, since the method could be performed repeatably and reliably with no missing data points. Therefore, this ASTM testing method is reasonable for determining bearing properties, which can then be used to design aircraft.
