Devices of Transmitting High Shear Loads in Composite Structures

摘要

Effective use of composites in conjunction with conventional monolithic materials relies on efficient transfer of load between the materials. An important mechanism for transferring load is a grooved or threaded configuration. While conventional grooves have been designed for isotropic materials, groove designs ahve not been evaluated as extensively for composites. In this study, the strength of the composite grooved region configuration is evaluated.
