Thanks Vonlueke,
But i am still unsure of something.
I am doing a stress analysis for bearing stress due to fastener load transfer. The two clamped plate is in tension of course but why is Temperature in the picture here? Is it common practice to simulate pre-load this way?
Could you elaborate...
I am trying to model two plates (varied thickness) clamped with a bolt and nut to determine the stresses at the hole edge due to fastener load transfer.
I was planning mesh both the plate and bolts using solid elements but I am not sure how the interface conditions should be.
Given the torque...
Is this applicable to most combat aircraft?
Would it be considered a temporary or pernament repair?
And how would the heat from the ejector affect the plugged hole?
Speaking of FOD potential, are there any unique ideas in which the blind rivet head can be removed from highly inaccessible areas without creating FOD?
(such as behind firewall)
The blind rivet head would just fall off into the inaccessible area when the shank is been punched to remove it.
We...
