In this paper, tensile experiments were conducted into single-lap bolted joint between composite laminate and steel with countersunk fastener, and two three-dimensional explicit finite element models were developed using Abaqus/Explicit. Continuum shell elements (SC8R) were used to model in-plane ply failure with built-in damage model while cohesive elements were selected to predict interlaminar damage in model I. 8-node reduced integration solid elements (C3D8R) were chosen to model all the parts with 3D Hashin-type initiation criteria and Camanho degradation law implemented in a VUSDFLD subroutine in model II. The results simulated by both models accurately predicted the elastic loading response and captured overall damage profile compared with the experimental results. The numerical analysis using explicit solver provided acceptable accuracy which highlighted the robust nature and high computational efficiency without convergence issues compared with implicit solver. In addition, the effect of cohesive elements on computational efficiency was investigated to simplify the countersunk joints analysis.
