Abstract The high demands for load-carrying capability and structural efficiency of
composite-metal bolted joints trigger in-depth investigations on failure mechanisms of the
joints in hygrothermal environments. However, few studies have been presented to exhaustively reveal hygrothermal effects on the failure of CFRP-metal bolted joints, which
differ from CFRP-CFRP or metal-metal bolted joints because of the remarkably different
material properties of CFRPs and metals. In this paper, hygrothermal effects on tensile failures
of single-lap and double-lap CFRP-aluminum bolted joints were experimentally and
numerically investigated. A novel numerical model, in which a hygrothermal-included
progressive damage model of composites was established and elastic-plastic models… More >
