Analysis of a Bolted Joint Failure in a Hydraulic Press
Keyword(s):
Micrographic inspection, acceleration tests, Finite Element Analysis and detailed fatigue failure calculations for combined static and dynamic loadings, were used in determining the cause of failure, and an acceptable repair solution, for a critical bolted joint. The bolted joint holds together the piston and ram within a hydraulic press. The press had been in operation for eleven years when the failure occurred. As the press is used in a critical process operation, a repair solution and future maintenance strategy was required that would minimize the possibility of future failures and permit maintenance during planned outages. This paper discusses the method that was followed to arrive at an acceptable solution.
