INVESTIGATION ON VARIABLE-HEIGHT PROTRUSION ARRANGEMENT OF METAL–COMPOSITE HYBRID JOINTS UNDER A TENSILE LOAD

Y. Zhao, China; W. Wang, China; X. Wan, China

Metal–composite hybrid joints with variable-height pins reinforced were numerically investigated to analysis its mechanical behavior. Results showed that stress concentration of these joints occurred in different positions, and the reinforcing efficiency of protrusions varied across the overlapping area. These findings provided guidance for optimal protrusion arrangement of hybrid joints.
