Bolted Joints Analysis Methods and Evaluation
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Calculation of accurate bolt forces is the primary requirement in many industries. All the theoretical calculations for bolt forces, includes many significant assumption based on idealized mechanical models. In this paper two models of flange joints were taken and analyzed forpretensionvariation due to internal temperature changes, And for theForces induced in the bolt due to the combined effect of external forces applied and internal temperature change. The results were utilized to gain insight into joint softening that arises from gradual, nonlinear opening of flange gap under external tension. Later these results were compared with the theoretical calculations, and our models allow relaxations for many assumptions in theoretical calculations
