Abstract
To analyze the impact of connection behavior on lightning-induced ablation damage in composite bolted joints, this paper analyzes contact properties based on thermoelectric characteristics and develops a lightning ablation damage model for composite interference joint structures. A preliminary analysis of the electrothermal conduction process in the interference-fit composite joints clarifies the influence of connection behavior on lightning damage. The results indicate that a skin effect occurs near the fastener-to-CFRP interface, and both Joule heating and conductive heat significantly affect the temperature distribution in the composite bolted joint structure. A lightning current impact test was also conducted for validation and comparison. Quantitative comparisons show that the predicted in-plane damage aligns well with the experimental results, with an error of 7.37%, while the difference in thickness direction damage is more significant, with an error of 40.02%. Furthermore, the analysis of ablation damage characteristics reveals that the most severe damage occurs in the lower-middle region of the CFRP thickness due to the combined effects of interference damage and bolt preload, while damage in other areas is suppressed.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
