Abstract
Finite Element Analysis numerical models were generated to simulate and investigate the pull-through damage of bolted joints on composite laminates. Three-dimensional elements were used along with a user material subroutine incorporating the material failure criterion in Abaqus® software. Simplified Discrete Ply Modelling (DPM) and Cohesive Zone Modelling (CZM) were also employed. The numerical model predictive capability was assessed and the parameters influencing the pullthrough failure process were investigated. The residual bearing strength of bolted joints following pull-through damage suggested a qualitative agreement between the numerical model and the experimental testing results.
