The dynamic response of bolted joints subjected to torsional excitation is investigated experimentally and numerically. First, the effects of the initial preload and the angular amplitude on axial force loss of the bolt were studied. Second, the change of hysteresis loops with the increasing number of loading cycles was found under a larger torsional angle. At last, a fine-meshed three-dimensional finite element model was built to simulate the bolted joint under torsional excitation, from which the hysteresis loops were obtained under varying angular amplitudes. The results of numerical analysis are in good agreement with those of experiments.

The article considers the effect of axial load on the turns of the thread of the planetary roller-screw converter of rotational motion into translational one. For this purpose an experimental setup was made in which the nut lies end-face on the flat surface of the press, a screw is screwed into it. The force is applied to the screw through a ball to distribute the load uniformly. The design of the machine for compression measurement allows automatic recording the axial mutual movement of tested mechanism parts when the loading force changes. Contact and displacement occur when the loading force reaches 300 N. The results are obtained in the form of a "force – displacement" graph. In the course of the experiment, the influence of step error on the uniformity of the contacts of the turns of the mating parts of the planetary roller-screw mechanism was checked. The results of the experiment are analyzed, the influence of inaccuracy of manufacturing thread of planetary roller-screw mechanism parts on its capacity for use in feed drives of various machines is considered.

Abstract The article is devoted to increasing the bearing life of dynamic rotary-type machines by controlling the uniformity of the distribution of the value of the preliminary axial load acting on the rolling bearings of the rotation axis of the power unit. The possibility of monitoring the axial load using acoustic emission (AE) signals is considered. The results of experimental studies of the kinematics of the ball movement relative to other bearing parts, depending on the tightening torque of bolted joints, estimated by the parameters of AE signals, are presented.

In this paper piled raft foundation has been analysed by nonlinear finite element method. The three dimensional nonlinear finite element analyses predict the actual behaviour of axial load distribution. The axial load variation is nonlinear for all the piles. For all pressure the element stress is more than the element stress. For any pressure the nodal deflection is maximum at top and minimum at bottom. Up to certain height the element stress is almost zero for all pressures. After that height the element stress increases with increase in height. The element stress increases with increase in pressure the measurement of axial load distribution in pile in field is very difficult and costly.

The equivalent stiffness of clamped plates is needed not only to evaluate the strength of bolted joints but also to estimate the deformation and vibration characteristics of practical structures with many bolted joints. The axial stiffness and bending stiffness of clamped plates were estimated using finite element (FE) analyses while taking the contact conditions on bearing surfaces and between plates into account. We constructed FE models with an M10 bolt and plate thicknesses of 3.2, 4.5, 6.0, or 9.0 mm, and subjected them to an axial load and a bending moment. The axial compliance was estimated using the load-displacement relation obtained from the FE results. When the axial load was lower than 110% of the clamping force, the load-displacement relation showed linear behaviour and the axial compliance was almost constant. When the axial load was higher than that, the axial compliance varied nonlinearly with changes in the contact conditions between clamped plates. The compliances of the clamped plates were compared with those specified in the German engineering society code VDI 2230 (2003), in which equivalent conical compressive stress fields in the plates had been assumed. When the load-displacement relation behaves linearly, the axial and bending compliances obtained in FE analysis can basically be expressed by the VDI 2230 (2003) code. However, this code gives the slightly large axial stiffness, and thus the internal force borne to the bolt is predicted in a little bit unsafe estimation. In addition, the code is not suitable for application in the case of clamped plates with different thicknesses due to the assumptions it makes with respect to models.

During strong earthquakes, significant excess pore pressures can develop in saturated soils. After shaking ceases, the dissipation of these pressures can cause significant soil settlement, creating downward-acting frictional loads on piled foundations. Additionally, if the piles do not support the full axial load at the end of shaking, then the proportion of the superstructure’s vertical loading carried by the piles may change as a result of the soil settlement, further altering the axial load distribution on piles as the soil consolidates. In this paper, the effect of hydraulic conductivity and initial post-shaking pile head loading is investigated in terms of the changing axial load distribution and settlement responses. The investigation is carried out by considering the results from four dynamic centrifuge experiments in which a 2 × 2 pile group was embedded in a two-layer profile and subjected to strong shaking. It is found that large contrasts in hydraulic conductivity between the two layers of the soil model affected both the pile group settlements and axial load distribution. Both these results stem from the differences in excess pore pressure dissipation, part of which took place very rapidly when the underlying soil layer had a large hydraulic conductivity.

Stress concentration in thread roots and nonuniform load distribution along thread turn are the major disadvantages of bolted joints. Under changing cyclic loads on areas of high stress concentration crack formation and destruction of parts occur. In addition, the fretting corrosion processes activate in the areas of contact between thread turns. The purpose of the work is to increase rupture strength of bolted joints under the action of cyclic forces by decreasing stress concentration and reducing movements in contact zone of mating parts in case of assembly with implementation of anaerobic materials. Modelling of bearing strength of bolted joints is conducted according to finite element method, with theory of contact interaction between mating surfaces being used. The results of experimental research are given. Anaerobic materials which polymerize in area of thread contact of parts are used. It was established that assembly with implementation of anaerobic material allows unloading of thread turns because the part of external load is received by elastic layers of the polymerized anaerobic material. In this case the level and the concentration of stress in thread roots reduce, relative movements are decreased, the joint becomes more rigid and its cyclic robustness grows.

A novel mathematical model is proposed for studying elastic interaction in gasketed bolted joints. The model predicts the tension changes in tightened bolts due to the subsequent tightening of other bolts in the joint. It also predicts the final clamp load distribution after the completion of joint tightening. The model is used to investigate the effect of various factors on the elastic interaction phenomenon; factors include the gasket thickness, bolt spacing, fastener preload level, and the tightening sequence of various bolts. Experimental verification is provided for the validation of the mathematical model. Experimental and analytical results are presented and discussed. The proposed model provides good prediction of the final clamp load in the joint. Moreover, the proposed model may be used to determine the level of initial bolt tension in each bolt that would be necessary to achieve the desired level of uniform clamp load in the joint at initial assembly.
