Elastic interaction effect commonly exists in the assembly of multi-bolted joint. It is defined as loss tension forces some bolts due to progressively tightening neighboring bolts. Main cable clamp a large size bolted joint used suspension bridge. Investigation on bolt has seldom been reported. This article presents field experiment study tightening. In experiment, three types and sequences wer...

Fatigue behavior of glulam moment resisting joint subjected to repeated cyclic loading has not been well clarified. In addition, the accuracy conventional design formulae for rotational stiffness and yield/ultimate should be discussed especially related method obtain material properties. this research, tests were conducted drift pined joints with insert-steel gusset plate tensile-bolted joint. ...

FastComp is a computational tool for the determination of the forces that a composite bolted joint subjected to multiaxial loads supports until failure occurs. The main intention of the present work was the development of a graphical user interface (GUI) for the referred tool that allows its parameterization and the visualization of its output results. Using VTK The Visualization Toolkit, a com...

In this paper, five sets of multi-bolted joint shear tests are designed to study the effect bolt middle distance on bearing performance joints, and analyze failure modes specimens. The main conclusions as follows: For M10 bolts (grade 8.8) bamboo curtain plywood connections. When spacing increases 50mm, ultimate capacity nodes tends be stable; initial stiffness joint, has no obvious joint. Howe...

In this research, the influence of bolt preload on the fatigue strength of 2024-T3 aluminium alloy double lap bolted joints has been studied experimentally and numerically. To do so, three sets of the specimens were prepared and each of them subjected to tightening torque of 1,2.5 and 5 N-m and then fatigue tests were conducted under various cyclic axial load levels. In the numerical method, th...

In the presented research, a split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) was used to measure mechanical response of multi-material single-lap joints in high-rate loading regime. High-performance applications require high-quality measurements properties define safe design rules. Servo-hydraulic machines are commonly investigate such small structures, but they prone produce oscillation-affected force meas...
