When open holes and bolt joints are involved, thin-ply-laminated composites exhibit more complex stress states, damage evolution, and failure modes. Compared to the experimental study of thin-ply-laminated composite-bolted joints, there are few reports about numerical analysis. In order to understand the damage evolution and failure mechanism of thin-ply-laminated composites jointed by single-lap bolt, a progressive damage model based on three-dimensional (3D) LaRC failure criterion combined with cohesive element is constructed. Through an energy-based damage evolution method, this model can capture some significant mechanical characteristics in thin-ply-laminated structures, such as the in situ effect, delamination inhibition, and fiber compressive kinking failure. The comparisons between the numerical predictions and experimental observations are made to verify the accuracy of the proposed model. It is found that the predicted stress-displacement curves, failure modes, damage morphologies, etc., are consistent with the experimental results, indicating that the presented progressive damage analysis method displays excellent accuracy. The predicted stress at the onset of delamination is 50% higher than that of the conventional thick materials, which is also consistent with experimental results. Moreover, the numerical model provides evidence that the microstructure of thin-ply-laminated composite performs better in uniformity, which is more conducive to inhibiting the intra-layer damage and the expansion of delamination damage between layers. This study on the damage inhibition mechanism of thin-ply provides a potential analytical tool for evaluating damage tolerance and bearing capabilities in thin-ply-laminated composite-bolted joints.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15228123","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,17]],"date-time":"2022-11-17T06:19:01Z","timestamp":1668665941000},"page":"8123","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Modeling Progressive Damage and Failure of Single-Lap Thin-Ply-Laminated Composite-Bolted Joint Using LaRC Failure Criterion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiangjiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Advanced Materials Mechanics, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Advanced Materials Mechanics, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yundong","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Materials Synthesis and Processing, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haixiao","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Advanced Materials Mechanics, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Foshan Xianhu Laboratory of the Advanced Energy Science and Technology Guangdong Laboratory, Xianhu Hydrogen Valley, Foshan 528200, China"},{"name":"Institute of Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongfeng","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Materials Synthesis and Processing, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Foshan Xianhu Laboratory of the Advanced Energy Science and Technology Guangdong Laboratory, Xianhu Hydrogen Valley, Foshan 528200, China"},{"name":"Institute of Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaidong","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Materials Synthesis and Processing, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Foshan Xianhu Laboratory of the Advanced Energy Science and Technology Guangdong Laboratory, Xianhu Hydrogen Valley, Foshan 528200, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Advanced Materials Mechanics, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Foshan Xianhu Laboratory of the Advanced Energy Science and Technology Guangdong Laboratory, Xianhu Hydrogen Valley, Foshan 528200, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuxin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Advanced Materials Mechanics, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Materials Synthesis and Processing, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"},{"name":"Foshan Xianhu Laboratory of the Advanced Energy Science and Technology Guangdong Laboratory, Xianhu Hydrogen Valley, Foshan 528200, China"},{"name":"Institute of Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105777","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compositesa.2020.105777","article-title":"Thin-ply polymer composite materials: A review","volume":"132","author":"Arteiro","year":"2020","journal-title":"Compos.
