3. Design Guidance
Warning - Design Manuals
Guidance is different and is often NOT based on ‘rigorous’ physical testing
![Page 14: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Design Guidance
Why is design of connections difficult?
• Many materials, properties and members
• Many joint types and connection methods
• Lack of material ‘ductility’
• Failure can be sudden and ‘brittle’
• Need for accurate stress and failure analysis
• Lack of knowledge on durability
• Need for physical testing to verify new designs
NEED STANDARDISATION AND CO-OPERATION
![Page 15: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. Design Guidance
Approved design guidance!!
• Can’t have code(s) of practice without practice
• Can’t have well-established practice without codes
• Industry is fragmented and protective
• Academic research perceived to be too scientific
• Cost-competitive structures require durable material; decades to establish
• Copying practice for steel is not ‘optimum’ solution
• Need to understand client’s needs and market
![Page 16: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3. Design Guidance(I) ‘Simple’
Assumed three basic modes of failure!!
(a) tensile (b) bearing (c) shear
![Page 17: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Design Guidance(I) ‘Simple’ and (II) ‘Rigorous’
Tensile test on single bolted connection to determine design properties
Test rig (Turvey 1996) 45o failure
![Page 18: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. Design Guidance(I) ‘Simple’ and ‘Rigorous’
Typical test data for SLS and ULS
![Page 19: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Design Guidance(I) ‘Simple’ and (II) ‘Rigorous’
• World-wide 700 plus individual test results
• Development of ‘simple’ and ‘rigorous’ design procedures for connection resistance (ULS)
• Less attention paid to any SLS
Variables making generalisation VERY difficult :-
materials (bolts and plates), joint dimensions and bolt lay-out, interface conditions (washer, torque, clearance hole), working loads and working environments
![Page 20: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
3. Design Guidance(I) ‘Simple’
EUROCOMP Design Code- Six basic load cases (1 and 2 have bolt, 4 to 6 are notched)
4 5 6
![Page 21: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. Design Guidance(I) ‘Simple’
EUROCOMP Design CodeProblems:
No clearance hole
Not all failure modes
Not validated
Laminates not defined
No damage tolerance
![Page 22: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. Design Guidance(II) ‘Rigorous’
Now to cope with general situation and involve damage tolerance
![Page 23: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
3. Design Guidance(II) ‘Rigorous’
STEPSFinite element (linear elastic) analysis
1 Source: determination of load distributions (bolts and far-field (takes account of real stiffnesses)
2 Target: determination of fastener hole stress distributions
Failure analysis3 BOLTIC FEA provides specific stress outputs to
include ‘damage tolerance’ in the design of bolted connections. The failure criterion is the well-known Point Stress Criterion
![Page 24: Design of Connections by Toby Mottram School of Engineering, Warwick University 1st CoSACNet Meeting, Southampton 30/01/01](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d425503460f94a1def1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
3. Design Guidance(II) ‘Rigorous’
Target: Stress analysis includes contact and friction.Failure check (using Point Stress Criterion (dk is characteristic distance and,k is design tensile strength)) must be at a number of locations.

3. Design Guidance(II) ‘Rigorous’
Progressive failure testing and analysis
Bearing test rig Local stress field (Mottram 2000) (with clearance hole)

4. Research Goals
• Establish worthiness of design guidance for
connections (bolted and other methods)
• Establish scope and limitations of aerospace
design methodologies
• Develop understanding and know-how for design
of connections to become generalised
• Provide information for preparation of approved
design guidance
• Improve confidence in using pultruded profiles in
primary load bearing structures

5. Conclusions
Large number of composite members and types
of connections are available; more to appear as
emerging technology matures
Important R&D advances have been made in
applications of primary structural connections
There is a need for standard connection details
giving easy to assemble structures that are safe,
reliable and cost-effective

5. Conclusions
Mechanical fastening will be the primary
connection method in the coming years because it
provides flexibility and is familiar to all
construction engineers
Approved design guidance (based on physical
testing and advanced numerical modelling) is
going to take time to develop; a concerted effort is
needed to transfer R&D into better practice
