The aim of this study was to optimize the geometry and the design of metallic/composite single bolted joints subjected to tension-compression loading. For this purpose, it was necessary to evaluate ...

Abstract Hybrid structures require efficient connections to transfer forces between elements composed of different materials, ensuring the desired structural performance. Among the available solutions ...

Abstract: There are many parts of the aircraft with Hi-Lock bolted lap structures, such as wings and tails. The joints are subjected to alternating loads during the service of the aircraft, and the ...

In this study, three types of bolted shear connectors (I, V, and X type) were proposed. Push-out tests were performed to investigate the shear behaviour of the Precast Lightweight Concrete Sandwich ...
