Practical Model

To predict the accurate behavior of bolted joints, detailed 3-D modeling is needed that considers the contact friction, preload, and nonlinear behavior of joints. However, a detailed model with gap elements cannot ensure convergence due to the complicated shape, plus it is inappropriate for a dynamic analysis. Accordingly, this paper suggests three kinds of model for structures with bolted joints: (1) detailed model, (2) practical model, and (3) simple model, which can be selected based on the purpose of the analysis. Through a static experiment using a strain gauge, the accuracy of the detailed model was verified, and the results of a modal test compared with the results of the simple model to confirm its effectiveness in a dynamic analysis. In the case of a static analysis using the simple model, the analysis results almost corresponded with those of the detailed model for a part 2.5d away from the center of the bolt. Among the proposed models, the simple model has the least degree of freedom and requires 59% less memory than the detailed model.

Joint Material

The nonlinear plastic deformation behavior of a clamped bolted joint model under a separating service load is investigated using analytical, finite element, and experimental techniques. An elastic-plastic model is used for the bolt material while the joint material remains in the linear elastic range. Both the analytical and finite element analysis (FEA) models investigate the variation in the tension of a preloaded bolt due to a separating service load that acts with an offset from the bolt center. Experimental verification is provided for both the analytical and finite element results on the bolt tension variation, clamp load variation and the clamp load loss caused by the incremental plastic bolt elongation under cyclic separating force.

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.

Contact Surfaces

Bolted joints are widespread in various industries. They are used both in detachable and in non-detachable connections. The main requirement for bolted joints is to ensure the strength of the connection and guaranteed contact pressure on the connected surfaces, i.e. joints, during the operation of the structure. As a rule, their design and calculation do not take into account the contact compliance of surfaces, which is determined by their macro- and microroughnesses. This problem leads to an overestimation of the joint strength and an underestimation of the predicted joint compliance. The study proposes a simple model which makes it possible by calculation to take into account the effect of the roughness of the contacting surfaces on the compliance of the joint without modifying the ANSYS application package. On the example of a flange connection, an experimental verification of the adequacy of the proposed model was carried out.

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.

Abstract The development of wooden joints possessing high resistance performance has become an important issue for the construction of newer buildings. This study attempts to strengthen the lateral resistance of bolted joints using the previously reported plasticizing technique. This technique consists of two processing stages: incising the surface of the wood using an ultraviolet wavelength short-pulse laser and impregnating the resin into the incised area. This technique makes it possible to plasticize only a local part of the wood surface. Bolted joint specimens were assembled using plasticized wood around the bolt hole, and the lateral tests were conducted. Acrylic monomer and urethane prepolymer were used as the impregnating resins and their incision depths were set as 4 and 10 mm. When the lateral load acted parallel to the grain, changes in the lateral resistance characteristics were observed, especially for the stiffness and yield load. For example, when acryl was used, and the incision depth was 10 mm, an increment of 73% in the yield load was observed, as compared to the non-impregnated specimens. The specimen groups impregnated with acryl exhibited greater changes in their properties than those using urethane. When loaded perpendicular to the grain, an increase in properties were observed; however, these increments were lower than those of the groups loaded parallel to the grain.

Element Method

The static and dynamic analysis of slender systems, which in this paper comprise lines and flexible links of manipulators, requires large deformations to be taken into consideration. This paper presents a modification of the rigid finite element method which enables modeling of such systems to include bending, torsional and longitudinal flexibility. In the formulation used, the elements into which the link is divided have seven DOFs. These describe the position of a chosen point, the extension of the element, and its orientation by means of the Euler angles Z[Formula: see text]Y[Formula: see text]X[Formula: see text]. Elements are connected by means of geometrical constraint equations. A compact algorithm for formulating and integrating the equations of motion is given. Models and programs are verified by comparing the results to those obtained by analytical solution and those from the finite element method. Finally, they are used to solve a benchmark problem encountered in nonlinear dynamic analysis of multibody systems.
