Characterisation of Contact Pressure Distribution in Bolted Joints

Characterisation of Contact Pressure Distribution in Bolted Joints

Contact pressure distribution in joints formed by V-band clamps

V-band clamps offer an efficient clamping solution in diverse applications including process equipment, exhaust systems and air handling. This paper studies the distribution of interface contact pressure between the V-band and flange when the coupling is established. The determination of the contact area and pressure distribution in a joint is essential information, as it determines the integri...

Bolted Joints in Laminated Composites

Expressions were presented which can be used to estimate the strengths of continuous fiber reinforced composite laminates containing pin-loaded holes. The expressions apply to laminates containing either a single pin loaded hole, a single row of pin loaded holes, or two parallel rows of pin loaded holes.

Identification of Bolted Joints through Laser Vibrometry

We present a new technique for identifying the dynamics of bolted joints. The technique relies on the comparison of the overall dynamics of the bolted structure to that of a similar but unbolted one. The di!erence in the dynamics of the two systems can be attributed solely to the joint; modelling this di!erence in the dynamics enables us to construct a non-parametric model for the joint dynamic...

A review on stress distribution, strength and failure of bolted ‎composite joints

In this study, analytical models considering different material and geometry for ‎both single and double-lap bolted joints were reviewed for better understand how to ‎select the proper model for a particular application. The survey indicades that the ‎analytic models selected for the adhesively single or double bolted lap joints, as well ‎as T, scarf, and stepped joints, with linear material pr...
