Three–dimensional Stress Analysis of the T–bolt Joint
نویسندگان
چکیده
A three-dimensional finite element model of the joint has been developed. The model has been used to predict the stress field of the laminate in the joint area, assuming homogeneity and linear behavior of the material. The modeled geometry is a T-bolt that joins a coupon of glass fiber–epoxy and a block of steel. The results obtained from the model have been verified experimentally using both electric and optical strain sensors. In the discussion of the results, a comparison between the stresses predicted for the T-bolt and those of an equivalent double lap bolted joint has been performed.

In this research, the effects of torque tightening on the stress distribution in double lap simple bolted and hybrid (bolted-bonded) joints have been investigated numerically. In order to determine the bolt clamping force value due to tightening torque in simple bolted and hybrid joints, which is necessary in numerical simulation, an experimental approach has been proposed. To do so, two kinds ...

In this work, the interaction between the semi-circular space and the neighboring joint with and without the presence of rock bolts was investigated using the particle flow code (PFC) approach. For this purpose, firstly, the calibration of PFC was performed using both the Brazilian experimental test and the uniaxial compression test. Secondly, a numerical model with the dimension of 100 m...
