TL;DR: In this article, a bonding technique for the joining together of tubular sections which are under axial loading was discussed and the yielding of polymers was studied and the criterion which was eventually used in the analyses was a modification of the Von Mises one.

TL;DR: In this article, the assumption of the laminated plate theory which is responsible for most of the free edge errors is found, by imposing each of the assumptions separately on a three-dimensional model of a simple problem.

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of determining the deformational behavior of a composite plate subjected to loads applied through two pins using two-dimensional finite elements is investigated. But the work is limited to a bolted joint for pultruded members under an axial load.

TL;DR: In this paper, a closed-form formula for the tangential stresses on the boundary of a radially loaded hole in an infinite orthotropic plate is developed based on the general solution given by Green (1945, Proc R Soc, Series A 184, 173) using the complex variable approach.

TL;DR: In this article, an end cap, manufactured by an injection moulded process using short fibre/polymer matrix composites, was used to join pultruded tubes together or which can be used to form nodal joints in skeletal systems.
