Efficient and accurate finite element (FE) modelling of bolted joints is essential for increasing confidence in the investigation of structural vibrations. However, modelling of bolted joints for the investigation is often found to be very challenging. This paper proposes an appropriate FE representation of bolted joints for the prediction of the dynamic behaviour of a bolted joint structure. Two different FE models of the bolted joint structure with two different FE element connectors, which are CBEAM and CBUSH, representing the bolted joints are developed. Modal updating is used to correlate the two FE models with the experimental model. The dynamic behaviour of the two FE models is compared with experimental modal analysis to evaluate and determine the most appropriate FE model of the bolted joint structure. The comparison reveals that the CBUSH element connectors based FE model has a greater capability in representing the bolted joints with 86 percent accuracy and greater efficiency in updating the model parameters. The proposed modelling technique will be useful in the modelling of a complex structure with a large number of bolted joints.

Simulation Results

In this study, a non-linear finite element model for a simplified single-bolted joint structure model is built. Static analysis on the structure under different shear force and pretension effect is done, and the non-linear contact behavior is analyzed. Through comparing datum, it is found that interface area of each bolted joint region can be described an annular region around bolt hole, whose outer radius has increased by 85% compared with radius of bolt hole. Also, the frequency responses of the multi-bolted joint structure under sinusoidal excitation are investigated. Simulation results show that the resonance regions basically remain unchanged in different pretension effect and the largest amplitude will increase with the increasing preloads. Finally, the vibration experiments are conducted. Interface nonlinear affect dynamic stiffness considerably. The test results illustrate that dynamic behaviors of bolted joint agree with the simulation results and the proposed non-linear contact model was reasonable.

Prediction Approach

At the initial phase of the mechanical product development, it is very important to effectively obtain the modal damping ratio of the bolted joint structure for accurately predicting dynamic response. The energy dissipation has been estimated using a finite element model incorporating the effect of pretension force of the bolted joint. First, the modal damping ratios of the first four modes are extracted by experimental method. Secondly, the lap joint finite element model with pretension force parameter is constructed and based on which, modal analysis of the structure is conducted. The modal shape scaling results are used as the boundary conditions of the finite element model and the energy dissipations and modal damping ratios of the lap joint under different pretension forces are calculated out. By comparing the numerical calculation result and the experimental result, the validation of the damping prediction approach proposed in this paper is proved.
