There is an ESA publication that covers strength prediction of potted inserts in great detail:
PSS-03-1202 Insert Design Book, Issue 1, June 1987
I used the methods in this book in the past and got great results when compared to experiment (within 5% in all cases)
There are a couple of...
Remember that bearing strength in composites is also a function of the bypass stress, i.e. you must interact the bearing stress with the bypass stress to calculate the MS of a fastener detail in a composite laminate. The results can be *very* unconservative if you do not, especially if your...
