Bolted joints are widely used for pressure vessels and piping system. Many studies on strength of bolted joint are carried out. However, few studies on dynamic characteristics of structure with bolted joint are carried out. In this paper, the effect of bolted joints on dynamic characteristics of structure is examined. First, the damping ratio and the natural frequency of specimens with some types of bolted joints are measured. Obtained results are compared with those for the specimen without bolted joint. It is found that damping ratio increases and the natural frequency becomes lower. Next, the effect of bolted joint on random vibration response of structure using simplified model is examined. Standard deviation of acceleration response of structure with bolted joint is lower than that of structure without bolted joint.

Bolted joints are widely used for pressure vessels and piping system. Many studies on strength and stiffness of bolted joint are carried out. However, few studies on the dynamic characteristics of structure with bolted joint are carried out. The dynamic characteristics are important for design of structure subjected to earthquake excitations. In this paper, the effect of bolted joints on dynamic characteristics of structure is examined. First, the damping ratio and the natural frequency of specimens with some types of bolted joints are measured. Those are obtained for some factors, amplitude of excitation, applied torque. Obtained results are compared with those for the specimen without bolted joint. It is found that the damping ratio increases and the natural frequency becomes lower. Next, modeling of the bolted joint is presented. The bolted joint is modeled using additional mass, stiffness and damping elements. Finally, using model of bolted joint, response of the structure with bolted joint subjected to earthquake excitation is examined. Earthquake excitation is modeled as stationary random excitation. Mean square values of the response are obtained. Standard deviation of the acceleration response of the structure with bolted joint are lower than those without bolted joint.

Mechanical joints have a significant influence on the dynamics of assembled structure due to its discontinuity, uncertainty, frictional contact and micro-slip along the interface. To study the effect of mechanical interface on vibration behavior of industrial product, it is necessary to capture vibration data and investigate modal properties. In order to study effects of typical mechanical joints, double plates coupled with bolted joint are manufactured. Corresponding welded specimen was also manufactured for comparison and reference. Specimens were suspended by two flexible nylon cords for a free–free boundary condition and series of modal tests were carried out. Experimental results reveal that the preload in bolted joint affects the vibration behavior of assembly greatly, and the dynamic stiffness and natural frequency could be enhanced by increasing preload values of specimen. Bolted joints give rise to more frictional damping capacity within lower preload range in this test and welded specimen shows up much higher frequency and similar damping ratio.

Joint Assembly

Why do we certify welders but require no evidence of training or competence from those performing the critical bolted flanged joint assembly of pressure vessels and piping throughout the same industries? To remedy this situation ASME has recently released the first comprehensive standard in ASME PCC-1-2013 Appendix A that establishes uniform criteria, not just for the quality of the bolted joints but for the workers who assemble them. To support this critical training and qualification standard, ASME Training & Development has created a unique blended learning program for pipe fitters and mechanics to become Qualified Bolting Specialists (QBS), per the requirements outlined in PCC-1-2013 Appendix A. The purpose of this technical presentation is to explain the opportunities presented by this new standard and how industry can benefit from a better-trained work force in this critical area of bolted joint assembly. The authors have been integrally involved in the development of both the PCC-1 guideline document, and the ASME qualification program, and can authoritatively answer industry’s questions.

Characteristic Parameters

The combined three-section crossbeam is an important component in the heavy gantry CNC milling-lathing machine tool and the dynamic characteristics are key precision factors for the machine tool. Three sections of the combined crossbeam are bolted by large industrial bolts and the influence of bolted joints should be evaluated in the dynamic analysis of the combined crossbeam. The dynamic characteristics of the combined three-section crossbeam were extracted by the modal experiment. The FEM of the monolithic crossbeam was modeled to analyze the dynamic characteristic parameters. The comparison of the analysis result and experimental result were shown. The experimental result matched well with the FEM of the monolithic crossbeam without bolted joints. As a result, the influence of the bolted joints could be ignorable in dynamic characteristic for the combined three-section crossbeam.

Modelling Methods

This paper describes some of the outcomes of the development of finite element modelling guidelines for the stress analysis of bolted joints in pressure vessels and piping. The modelling methods originally developed at Rolls-Royce typically used 2D axisymmetric models as this was deemed adequate at the time. However, computing software and hardware improvements have subsequently been made which enable more realistic 3D bolted joint models to be solved where a greater level of geometric detail is required. For example the bolts, nuts and perforated flanges can now be represented more realistically reducing the degree of geometric abstraction that is required. Also, modern finite element codes such as ABAQUS and ANSYS now offer gasket elements which enable the initial compression, in-service performance and unloading of the joint to be modelled more realistically. Additionally, contact techniques can also be used to simulate the axial and radial distribution of thread load in the joint which will affect the stress distribution remote from the threaded region. Consequently, the modelling guidelines have been updated and provide guidance for stress engineers to decide which degree of model complexity is warranted.

Squeeze Effect

As a new type of controllable rheological smart material, Magneto-rheological Fluids (MRF) are widely used in the field of vibration control. This article investigated their integrated dynamic characteristics in squeeze mode and shear mode. Two prototypes were designed and fabricated. The dynamic test for the two prototypes was performed on a simply supported beam vibrating device with the methods of drop-hammering and sweep-frequency measuring. The experimental results demonstrate that the damping ratio of the prototype in squeeze effect presents linearly and widely controllable from 0.0948 to 0.2268 with the increase of the coils’ excitation current, behaving as a variable MR damper. However, its natural frequency remains unchanged. It is also shown that the natural frequency of the prototype in shear effect increases significantly from 18Hz to 24 Hz, acting as a semi-active dynamic vibration (SDVA) absorber with broadband vibration absorption for the maximum attenuation of up to 74.3%. This study provides guidance for engineering applications of MRF.

External Loads

The human body forms a complex dynamic system with more than one natural frequency and provides considerable damping capacities. In a simplified approach active persons can be modeled as external loads. While this approach may be sufficient for an activity like jumping, it has been shown already that for a bobbing person some interaction effects may occur. The question arises if also pedestrians are able to influence the dynamic characteristics of the structure they are actually crossing. Observations during a mass event with several thousand persons crossing a 66 m long bridge indicate that the damping capacity of the coupled structure may have increased. In this paper a single beam experiment was operated. The basic idea is to use a known background excitation induced by a shaker. It can be seen that both natural frequency and damping ratio have been changed comparing with empty structure. The change with passive person is stronger that an active person. Meanwhile, the linear sweep method which was used in measurement provides a good result for the analysis of dynamic properties of a structure.

Design Values

The Dynamic characteristics such as damping ratio and natural frequency are an important indicator for predicting the dynamic behavior of bridges, but it is customary during the design that the designer assess the dynamic properties of the dynamic analysis because it is very difficult to determine the damping of the origin before construction and damping is taken as a predetermined constant value independent of the response amplitude and frequency of the structure. In the dynamic analysis of constructions design some experimental research has been concerned with the determination of dynamic structural properties and their relationship with the response amplitude experimentally, but the changes in dynamic properties with vibration amplitude has never been taken During dynamic analysis, further analytical treatments and computer modeling were required to study different cases based on the experimental results available by simulating them with a computer model. Dynamic characteristics are very essential to accurately determine the dynamic response, and it is necessary to study the effect of changes of the actual dynamic characteristics of bridges, which were determined by measuring their vibration in the results of dynamic analysis and comparing them with results that do not take into account the changes of dynamic properties and with laboratory results in order to assess the role of. Dynamic analysis inputs in simulating vibrations by monitoring their responses. As a result, it was found that the dynamic properties are independent of the shape of the external exactions. Also, it was concluded that relationships express the change of dynamic properties in terms of vibration amplitudes. And Similar reliance of the dynamic characteristics to the vibration amplitude is confirmed for the pier model, where the increase of the amplitude of the acceleration is accompanied by a decrease in the natural frequency, and an increase in the damping ratio is obvious. Before choosing design values when considering the dynamic characteristics of a structure, we need to give unique concentration to the predictable vibration amplitudes. Dynamic characteristics changes during dynamic analysis should be considered to produce analytical results that simulate experimental results and are closer to reality.
