Improved analysis capability and strength properties of bolted joints in advanced metal-composite structure

The project is focused on the understanding of the behavior and structural integrity properties of advanced metal-composite airframe structures. 

Researcher explains the behavior and structural integrity properties of advanced metal-composite airframe structures.
The goal is to develop reliable and accurate methods and models that can predict the complex behavior of bolted hybrid structures and to find simplified models aiming to establish efficient methods for industrial applications. The project also includes development of methods and procedures to physically improve the strength of bolted joints.

Partners: SAAB, KTH, Linköping University, RISE SICOMP and Oxeon
Call: National Aeronautical Research Program 7 (VINNOVA)
Role: Coordinator from RISE SICOMP
