Abstract
In this study, the reliability of pin joint strength has been studied under the influence of geometric parameters. The pin joints are established from unidirectional fiberglass infused with epoxy composites and the study incorporates the analysis of pin joints experimentally and statistically using Weibull reliability study. During analyses, geometrical parameters E/D and W/D were routinely varied. Four samples for each arrangement were screened. The study found that bearing strength at each set of geometrical configurations with 99% reliability values is nearly equivalent to 89% of average bearing strength at the edge to diameter proportion which equals 4 and width to diameter proportion spanned 2–5, respectively. Similarly, 78% of average bearing strength notices at the edge to diameter proportion equals 3 and width to diameter proportion spanned 2–5, respectively. Additionally, the pin joint strengths extracted from the Weibull distribution and the average strength value reach the maximum when the E/D and W/D proportions are above or equal to 4, the non-catastrophic failure mode attained.
