ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help define the test methods and specimens that should be used for bolted joint related properties. Many composite structures are assembled with mechanically fastened (“bolted”) joints. Structural analysis of these attachments requires a linked set of design properties that are generated by…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11569 ###
