Thick section composites that consist of discontinuous ceramic tile arrays as a core represent a unique class of sandwich structures. They have been developed to provide a balance of structural, impact, and penetration resistance at minimum weight. Bolted joints are often used to fasten the Discontinuous Ceramic Cored Sandwich Structures (DCCSS) to other structures. Extensive experimental testing has been completed in order to better understand the performance of bolted joints in DCCSS. In this study, pin-loaded specimens are subjected to static in-plane tensile loading to establish the sequence and severity of failure modes and ultimate joint capacity. Static testing was completed on various geometric ratios such as edge distance effects, as well as the influence of tile gaps that exist in the discontinuous tile array. The results from this study establish guidelines for design of bolted joints in DCCSS.
► Understand the performance of bolted joints in DCCSS under static loading.
► Determine failure mode progression and ultimate strength of bolted joints in DCCSS.
► Understand how change in geometry affects performance of DCCSS.
► Understand how the discontinuous core arrangement affects performance of DCCSS.
► Develop design guidelines for bolted joints in DCCSS.
