Determinig Potential Embedment
(OP)
VDI 2230, in discussion of potential embedment within a joint states
However, no guidance is offered as to how one might experimentally determine a value for a specific joint, nor is there any satisfactory explanation of where the values in table 5.4/1 come from.
Can anyone point me to some literature that might explain how the amount of potential embedment could be determined?
Quote:
The guide values given in Table 5.4/1 may be used
to estimate the amount of embedding of joints if no
values determined experimentally are available for
the respective case.

I don't know of any literature. The testing very likely involves taking blocks of known roughness, initial preload and displacement and moving them either axially (tension-compression) or transversely (shear) and then measure the residual preload and displacement after movement. I would conduct this type of testing on a Universal Testing Machine.

I've already asked my librarian to see if she can track down an English translation of that reference and the one that follows it in the bibliography.
