Abstract Composite joints are widely used in machinery industries such as aviation, aerospace, and marine, where they transfer main loads as lightweight connectors. Recently, 3D printing with continuous fibers has relieved the required molds in composite manufacturing process and given flexibility to the design of robust composite joints. However, how the curved paths and variable hatch spaces affect the mechanical properties and failure modes of 3D-printed single-bolt composite joints with continuous fibers remains undisclosed. In this study, 3D printing has been introduced to fabricate three types of continuous fiber-reinforced single-bolt composite joints with different paths, including… More >
