Abstract

In this paper, a progressive damage analysis of two-dimensional C/SiC composites and superalloy mechanically fastened joint with a countersunk bolt is implemented to simulate the uniaxial tensile loading process by using a user-defined subroutine UMAT embedded into the general package ABAQUS. On the basis of the developed damage model, a parametric study is carried out to illustrate the effects of countersunk parameters on tensile performance for the hybrid bolted joint. It is found that there are negligible changes in the stiffness of the bolted joint, as the countersunk height varies from 1.5 to 2.5 mm for the considered bolt-head diameter cases. However, the failure load of the ceramic matrix composite and superalloy hybrid joint exhibits significant changes under different combinations of countersunk parameters. Increasing the countersunk height of the bolt intensifies the initial stress concentration and results in the redistribution of stress around the hole-edge area of the composite material plate. For the bolt-head diameter and countersunk height equal to 9.4 and 1.5 mm, respectively, the joint structure ensures the maximum load-bearing capacity for the studied joint with a countersunk bolt.
