Bolt / Washer Interaction Model
Bolt / Washer Interaction Model
(OP)
Hello -
I am attempting to model the interaction between a bolt (which has a fillet radius connecting the bolt shaft to the bolt head) and an unchamfered washer during the preload torquing procedure - ie, there will be a sharp edge (due to washer) interference with the bolt fillet radius. I would rather not delve into a contact analysis for ease of modeling. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
