Analysing A Bolted Joint
Analysing A Bolted Joint
(OP)
I am required to analyse a bolted joint in order to find the most optimum bolt properties. i have done most of the calculations and what is left is just the flange stiffness. the formula i currently have is incorrect. can some one tell me what the formula for flange stiffness (Km) is?
RE: Analysing A Bolted Joint
Km=dAE e(b(d/lm)
RE: Analysing A Bolted Joint
km = 1/summation(1/ki).
ki = pi Ei dhi tan(alpha)
/ln[ (2 ti tan(alpha) + di - dhi)(di + dhi)
/((2 ti tan(alpha) + di + dhi)(di - dhi)) ].
where
alpha = compression frustum apex half angle.
Ei = ith layer modulus of elasticity.
ti = ith layer thickness.
di = outer diameter of outer end of ith truncated frustum layer.
dhi = ith layer hole diameter.
pi = 3.141593.
