Pin joints are used in most of the assembly process. Many types of loads acts on the pin joints in its working. Due to holes cut in the plate, stress concentration plays wide role in the joint strength and life. Due to the advances in the composite materials which are made of different manufacturing process, stress analysis is required to analyze the stress behavior at the joint.
The experiment is carried out for elastic pin and rigid pin conditions. The results shows higher contact pressure and Vonmises stress developed with rigid pin condition. In isotropic conditions, the maximum contact pressure is taking place at the top and bottom central regions due to loss of width of the plate due to axial loading. But the maximum contact pressure position is changing to the right in case of pin loading.
