Failure anaysis of woven carbon fiber/epoxy composite plates jointed with double series pins

In this study, serial pin jointed composite plates of mechanical behaviors of analysis is studied as experimentally and numerically. This study which is used single and double pin joint, is used epoxy resin matrix and woven carbon fiber reinforced composite plates is used. In experimental and numerical study, geometric parameters (E/D, W/D, M/D) which are effect of mechanical behavior are analyzed. Geometric parameters with central of pin joint and length of plate edge (E), to pin joint diameter (D) rate E/D=2,3,4 and 5, distance between two pins (M), to pin joint diameter rate M/D=1.5,2 and 2.5 and width of plate (W) to pin joint diameter rate W/D :3.33 are solved by selected. In numerical study, finite element packed program by using progressive failure analysis is analyzed. Numerical results that subprogram and Anysys program which are written by using APDL codes which studied are obtain. In progressive failure analysis method, Hashin and Puck failure theory, are used with material degredation rules. Results of numerical and experimental study are compatible it is observed that mechanical behaviors change with joint geometric parameters.
