The present paper describes the structural analysis performed on a preloaded bolted joint.
The first joint modeled was comprised of a conventional cylindrical flange that was sliced to
simplify the analysis for two bolts in lieu of four. This involved an L-shaped flat segment
flange. Parametric studies were performed using elastic, large-deformation, non-linear finite
element analysis to determine the influence of several factors on the bolted-joint response.
The factors considered included bolt preload, contact surfaces, edge boundary conditions …
The present paper describes the structural analysis performed on a preloaded bolted joint. The first joint modeled was comprised of a conventional cylindrical flange that was sliced to simplify the analysis for two bolts in lieu of four. This involved an L-shaped flat segment flange. Parametric studies were performed using elastic, large-deformation, non-linear finite element analysis to determine the influence of several factors on the bolted-joint response. The factors considered included bolt preload, contact surfaces, edge boundary conditions, and joint segment length in this first approach. The second model applied the previous preloaded torque on a complex flange to study the flange lift off. Joint response is reported in terms of displacements, gap opening, and surface strains. Most of the factors studied were determined to have minimal effect on the bolted joint response.
