Shear Strengths of Different Bolt Connectors on the Large Span of Aluminium Alloy Honeycomb Sandwich Structure

This study investigates the shear capacity of aluminum alloy honeycomb sandwich plates connected by high-strength, ordinary, or self-tapping bolts. For that purpose, experimental tests and finite elements are carried out. The failure of a high-strength bolt connector is driven by bending deformation...
