...YJ Chiang; RE Rowlands The presence of a flaw or crack near a bolt-loaded hole can significantly reduce the strength of a mechanical joint. Stress intensity factors of mixed-mode cracks emanating from a bolt-loaded hole in a loaded finite composite are evaluated here using the finite element method...
