Objectve Develop an FM representaton of a fastener nstalled through multple metal and composte plates. Accurately represent fastener behavor Rapd model preparaton of each fastener Can be used wth parts modeled by shell elements wth sotropc or orthotropc materal propertes, parts modeled by sold elements wth sotropc propertes, or any combnaton of these parts Accounts for the effects of varable bearng stffness of a fastener - composte plate nterface
Representaton of a Fastener Jont Idealzaton of a plate-fastener system ncludes the followng: lastc bearng stffness of a plate and fastener at the contact surface Bendng and shear stffness of a fastener shank Compatblty of dsplacements of a fastener and connected plates n the jont

Analyss Procedure and Lmtatons The bearng stffness n the jont depends on the drecton of the fastener reactons. Because these drectons are not known pror to runnng the model, an teratve procedure s requred to accurately determne fastener reactons. For composte plates wth varable n-plane stffnesses, the sprng analogy used n ths analyss does not take couplng between transverse dsplacements nto account. The error nduced by ths approxmaton s expected to be small and wll decrease wth each teraton.

Patran Fastener Bulder MSC.Software s currently developng a PCL procedure consstng of two parts: The frst part shall quckly and easly create fasteners n Patran for models contanng plates wth composte and optonally metal materal propertes. The second part s needed for updatng bearng stffnesses n the composte plate-fastener nterface. An MSC.Nastran procedure for automatcally teratng the process s very desrable to ncrease the speed of the analyss. Patran Iteratve Analyss Panel Patran Fastener Bulder Panel
Conclusons The fastener modelng technque developed for sotropc materals has been extended to models contanng composte plates. The prevous formulae for computng bearng stffnesses for fasteners n a metal plate has been modfed to better account for plate behavor. Due to the varaton of n-plane stffnesses of a composte materal, an teratve procedure s necessary to accurately determne fastener loads. An automated PCL procedure s under development to quckly and easly create fastener representatons n MSC Patran.
