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...

this paper presents the results of the assembly process of a gasketed bolted flanged pipe joint for two different bolt tightening strategies, i.e. asme and industrial using torque control of preload method.  the final clamping force is achieved in four and five passes in asme and industrial strategy respectively. axial bolt stress variation, at the end of each pass, individual bolt bending beha...

Bolted joints are widely used in industrial rotating machines to fasten the adjacent disks together and affect system dynamic properties. Therefore, there is a strong need study their influence on response of such systems. This paper investigated effect eccentric phase difference disk bolted-disk joint rotor dynamics, which takes into account time-varying bending stiffness bolted joint. The mod...

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 ...

This paper aims to study the mechanical behaviour and failure mode of Al 2024-T3 in double-lap bolted joints. To accomplish this, the effect of geometric parameters was investigated in both configurations of single and double fasteners. Using ABAQUS/Standard, a three-dimensional finite element model was developed and verified against the experimental results of the joints loaded in tension. In ...

The use of self-tapping screws with continuous threads in the joint area as a reinforcement to avoid splitting of timber members is studied. A theoretical model is developed to calculate the stress distribution around a pin-loaded hole in a timber joint, to predict brittle failure modes in bolted connections and to calculate the load in the reinforcing screws. Laboratory experiments on reinforc...

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 e...
