Thermal conductance measurements of bolted copper joints for SuperCDMS

The Low Temperature Thermal Resistance of High Purity Copper and Bolted Copper Joints

Analytical Modeling of Thermal Resistance in Bolted Joints

An analytical approximate solution is developed for predicting the thermal resistance of bolted joints between two square plates . of the same material but different thicknesses. The plates are assumed to have perfectly flat and smooth surfaces, and they are joined by a bolted connection at the center of the square, forming a concentric annular contact region at the interface. The entire surfac...

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...

Bolted Joints Disassembly: A Field Study for Thermal Influence on Large Diameters

During maintenance operations, technicians have to work as quickly as possible. But they are often stopped during disassembly by blocked bolts or studs. This paper examines causes of blockage and suggests new method for disassembling bolted joint in this case. Several methods are analyzed and tested with finite element simulations. An experimental protocol to test a new disassembling method is ...
