Thermo-mechanical loading of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), as applied within the process chain painted body, influences the load-bearing capacity of mechanical joints. The damage of the CFRP in the vicinity of the joints is comprehensively characterized experimentally as well as numerically for a pin and a blind rivet. The influencing geometrical, mechanical and process related factors are assessed for damage propagation. Moreover a statistical model for estimating the residual strength of damaged joints is presented.
