Due to the manufacturing restrictions or design requirements, composite structures are usually connected in the form of butt joint near the wing rib or fuselage frame to solve the problem of discontinuity of load transfer. In this paper, the finite element model of butt joint structure is established by simulating the engineering model of metal fasteners and common joint connected by beam element under the action of in-plane load, and the mechanical simulation analysis of typical butt joint configuration is carried out. In the engineering model, the allowable stress value is used to predict the failure of composite material and the classical strength theory is used to predict the fracture failure of metal fasteners. The result show that the strength prediction obtained by the engineering model is in good agreement with the test results, and the application of this method can improve the calculation efficiency of connection strength with complicated multi-fastened composite structures.
