The results of the studies are presented which is an extension earlier authors’ work combined bolted-welded joints for building steel structures. Data on parameters stress-strain state finite-element models physical specimens bolted, welded and connections given. These manufactured being prepared testing. There some special features design numerical models: conditions have been created realizat...

The behaviour of beam-column joint plays an important role in the response of a steel moment resisting framed structure especially under seismic excitation. Semi rigid connections like bolted joints, allow better energy dissipation and provide good response under lateral loads. In this paper the ductility and energy dissipation characteristics of semi rigid bolted connections using double web a...

Bolted joints are used widely in mechanical design and represent a weak link in a system where loss of joint clamping force can lead to degraded product performance or human injury. To meet current market demands, designers require reliable material data and analysis tools for their industry specific materials. The viscoelastic response of bolted aluminum joints used in the small die-cast engin...

Stresses in single-lap bolted joints of thick plates are complex and difficult to analyze. The few previous studies of stress through the thickness of bolted joints have been limited to finite element simulations and have been implemented only for the joining of relatively thin plates. Experimental and numerical analyses were conducted to analyze the stress distribution inside thick bolted plat...

The current paper is concerned with modelling damage and fracture in woven fabric composite double-lap bolted joints that fail by net-tension. A 3-D finite element model is used, which incorporates bolt clamp-up, to model a range of CFRP bolted joints, which were also tested experimentally. The effects of laminate lay-up, joint geometry, hole size and bolt clamp-up torque were considered. An Ex...
