Fiber-reinforced composite material plays a vital role in structural engineering due to its lightweight and high strength ratio which becomes a key material in a mechanically fastened pin joint. Recent review articles in this area were restricted to the numerical and experimental approaches which are used for strength prediction of pin joints in polymer matrix composites. The present study begins with an extensive analysis of relevant studies in the provided structurally clamped joint region using numerous numerical approaches and theories of failure. Numerous experimental and numerical approaches are available nowadays and have been cited by the researchers in their respective research to foretell the damage initiation and failure mode in the composite joint. The study gives the review of different numerical analyses of composite joints by utilizing interactive criteria for failure analysis, viz. Tsai-Wu, Tsai-Hill, Yamada Sun’s theory predicts failure using higher-order polynomial equations that comprise all stress or strain components, whereas limit stress criteria i.e. Maximum stress criterion which uses linear equations for finding the solution. Progressive Damage Analysis (PDA) quantifies matrix and fiber failure using the material depletion rule preceded by Hashin’s theory which offers a good interpretation irrespective of the types of composite material. In the end, various parameters are discussed which enhance joint performance under different loading conditions.

“…19 In recent times, there has been a significant rise in the use of finite element analysis (FEA), primarily due to its ability to offer approximate solutions by simulating models. [20][21][22] This approach helps identify unique stress patterns and failure modes under different boundary conditions, achieved through the discretization of the model into various elements using element meshing. Additionally, researchers have employed the element-free Galerkin method to assess crack intensity in plates, comparing its effectiveness with traditional mesh-based methods.…”

The present work optimizes the geometric parameters of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminated pin joints under fatigue loading conditions using response surface methodology (RSM). RSM is utilized to construct polynomial functions that optimally capture the behavior of experimental data, intending to make statistical inferences. Key geometric parameters, that is the edge and width dimensions were studied in pursuit of enhanced performance under fatigue loading of pin joints. The study aimed to validate the effectiveness of the optimized parameters, particularly for attaining load‐bearing capacity, fatigue life, and failure mode using numerical and experimental approaches. Optimal configurations were achieved, that is edge and width equal to 16 mm at which the failure mode shifts to bearing mode. Another configuration with an edge of 20 mm and a width of 22 mm was achieved for optimized fatigue life. These findings underscore the practical implications of the optimization process, with the potential for substantial gains in fatigue life and strength of GFRP laminated pin joints in engineering applications. The identified optimal configurations exhibited a non‐catastrophic bearing failure mode, emphasizing a crucial characteristic that provides prior‐warning before the occurrence of final failure. The experimental results align well with the numerical outcomes regarding fatigue life and the mode of failure.Highlights Parametric optimization of GFRP pin joint under cyclic loading.

“…Zheng [18] studied the thermo-elasticity of FGMs based on the combination of the radial integration method and the BEM and applied it to analyze the dynamic fracture of materials. Garg and Pant [19] studied the influence of edge crack length on the TSIF in FGM plates under thermal load based on the element-free Galerkin method. Wang and Qin [20,21] used the meshless method to simulate the steady-state heat conduction and thermal stress distribution in a two-dimensional FGM plate.…”

In this paper, the steady-state and transient heat transfer processes of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are analyzed using a coupled thermo-mechanical model in a GPU parallel multiphysics finite–discrete element software, namely MultiFracS. First, the coupled model to handle the heat transfer problem of heterogeneous materials is verified. Then, the advantages and disadvantages of FGMs and composite materials in response to thermal shock loads are compared and the results indicate that FGMs can overcome extreme environments better than composite materials. Finally, the influence of the geometric distribution characteristics of the double-edge cracks in the gradient material plate on the crack propagation is analyzed. The simulation results show that the interaction between the cracks affects the crack propagation path under the thermal load. The inclination angle and spacing of double-edge cracks greatly influence crack propagation. Specifically, a larger inclination angle and spacing can lead to a smaller crack propagation angle. The approach in this paper provides a new quantitative tool for investigating the thermal, elastic, and cracking of functionally graded materials.
