In our previous study, loosening-fatigue tests under small transverse vibrations had been performed to elucidate bolt behavior and loosening-fatigue mechanism in the long life region. In this study, the influences of bolt property class and the plastic region tightening on loosening-fatigue characteristics under transverse vibration have been investigated. Result shows that bolt property class has little influence on the loosening-fatigue limits under transverse vibration. Result also shows that the transverse loosening-fatigue limit of the bolt which has been tightened to within the plastic region is lower than the transverse loosening-fatigue limit of the bolt that has been tightened to within the elastic region. This result is the opposite of the result of the axial fatigue characteristics of bolted joints.

Fatigue Characteristics

Fatigue tests under transverse vibration were performed for three separate tightening conditions to investigate the grip length and the engaging thread length in this study. The relationships between the apparent fatigue limit (the highest amplitude of transverse vibration force which can be applied to the bolted joint without generating fatigue) and the real fatigue limit of bolt material also were investigated. Results showed that apparent transverse fatigue limit decreased if the grip length was long. And relationships of the apparent fatigue limit and the real fatigue limit were different in each tightening conditions depending on the bending moment at the root of the first thread.

Axial Fatigue

Fatigue characteristics of bolted joint tightened with a steel bolt have been discussed extensively. However the fatigue characteristics of bolted joint tightened with a nonferrous bolt have not been sufficiently discussed. In this study, two types of fatigue tests, axial fatigue tests and transverse fatigue tests, for nonferrous bolts were conducted. The nonferrous bolts used in this study made of AZ31 and AZX912 magnesium alloy and A5056 aluminum alloy. The results of both fatigue tests showed that the fatigue limits of the A5056 bolt were the highest of all. The fatigue limits of two kinds of the magnesium alloy bolts were almost the same in both fatigue tests. However the ration of the axial fatigue limits to the transverse fatigue limits were different according to the bolt materials.

Fretting Damage

Fatigue tests on a large number of double cover plate butt joints showed that the cause of failure in the majority of cases was by cracks originating in an annular area of fretting damage around the bolt hole. The nature of the fretting is discussed and the variation with load amplitude of the size of the annular area is described. Several well defined patterns of fatigue cracking were observed. These are described and their associated crack origins classified and related to the joint geometry and load levels.

Fatigue tests were carried out at different stress levels on cruciform welded joints made from mastensitic stainless steel. The purpose of the present paper was to verify the validity of the thermographic method and to extend its capability on welded structural evaluation, considering the real operating situations. Due to limitations of the traditional fatigue test, the infrared thermographic technique was developed to predict and assess the fatigue limit and the entire S-N (Stress-Life) curve of cruciform welded joints. Through the comparison, the predictions of the fatigue behavior by the thermographic method (TM) manifested good agreement with the traditional method. The present research paper concludes that the TM as a promising method enables us to rapidly obtain reliable fatigue characteristics of welded structural components.

Force Reduction

In order to investigate fatigue characteristics of nonferrous bolts at elevated temperature, fatigue tests of bolted joints which were tightened with three kinds of nonferrous bolts were been conducted at 100°C atmosphere. The test bolts were made of A5056 aluminum alloy and AZ31 and AZX912 magnesium alloy. Creep tests of the bolts at 100°C atmosphere were also conducted. The results showed that the fatigue limit of A5056 bolt was the highest of all regardless of the ambient temperature. The fatigue limits of AZ31 bolt and AZX912 bolt also were a half of the fatigue limit of A5056 bolt at both ambient temperature. Bolt clamping force losses due to creep deformation were observed for all bolts during fatigue tests at elevated temperature. Hence as additional tests, the creep tests which was controlled either the tensile force or the displacements respectively were conducted. As the results it was seen that the clamping force losses for all bolts were remarkably large although the each creep deformation was different for each bolt material. Therefore the results indicates that we have to pay attention to the clamping force reduction due to creep deformation if we use the nonferrous bolt in high temperature.
