  • Behavior of Composite Bolted Joint Under Tension-Shear and Compression-Shear Load Cases
    Lakshmana Vasantrao Awadhani, Anand Krishna Bewoor
    International Review of Mechanical Engineering, 2023
    Composite materials are widely used to derive benefits such as improved performance of gadgets and machines by reducing weight. While connecting composite parts, bolted connections are preferred. This paper discusses the performance analysis of composite bolted connections based on peak load and stiffness for the two load cases, tension-shear and compression-shear loading. Experimental research on the behavior of the joint has led to the development of regression equations that can forecast the peak load and stiffness of the connection. The predicted and experimental responses have a reasonable correlation. The regression models were validated using additional experiments. Desirability function analysis was done to identify the optimum parameter settings to enhance the responses to the applied loadings. The results of the desirability function analysis were verified through the Taguchi analysis of S/N ratios.

  • Behavior of single lap composite bolted joint under traction loading: Experimental investigation
    L. V. Awadhani, Anand Bewoor
    Aip Conference Proceedings, 2018
    Composite bolted joints are preferred connection in the composite structures to facilitate the dismantling for the replacements/ maintenance work. The joint behavior under tractive forces has been studied in order to understand the safety of the structure designed. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the behavior of single-lap joints in carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites under traction loading conditions. The experiments were designed to identify the effect of bolt diameter, stacking sequence and loading rate on the properties of the joint. The experimental results show that the parameters influence the joint performance significantly.
  • Parametric study of composite bolted joint under compressive loading
    Laxman V. Awadhani, Anand Bewoor
    Procedia Manufacturing, 2018
    Use of composite structures in various sectors is rapidly increasing. The composite materials are becoming very popular due to high strength to weight ratio, high stiffness to weight ratio, low coefficient of friction, improved appearance etc. Extensive literature is available for the behavior of composite bolted joints subjected to tensile loading for the aerospace structures. The work reported in this paper is an attempt to extend the analytical model for studying the behaviour of composite bolted joint under compressive loading. The model is capable of conducting the parametric study on the joint stiffness variation with respect to parameters such as plate width, bolt diameter and stacking sequence for compressive loading. The model is verified experimentally. The experiments were designed to study the effect of variation in the parameters on the joint stiffness. Unidirectional and bidirectional carbon fibre epoxy composite laminates were tested as per ASTM D5961. The parameters viz. stacking sequence, bolt diameter, plate width of the joint stiffness are identified as significant.

    A CVT has a continuous range of transmission ratios that can up to device-dependent physical limits, be selected independently of the transmitted torque so it is an object of considerable research interest within the mechanical design community, driven primarily by the automotive industry's demands for more energy efficient and environmentally friendlier vehicles as the request for better energy efficiency and for CO2 and NOx reduction, imposed by environmental considerations, pushes many researchers to find new technical solution to improve the emission performance of nowadays IC engine vehicles. Also In case of machine tools applications optimum tool life only be obtained at particular speed ratio and the same cannot be achieved due fixed gear ratios and stepped pulley transmission. Moreover, unlike conventional stepped transmissions the CVT does not suffer from “shifting shock” and also we can achieve optimum speed range at which tool life will be maximum. In this paper investigation of slip and speed ratio of axially displaceable cone variator has been studied with the help of developed test rig and the results are relate with the IC Engine and machine tool application.
