Bolted joints play a more and more important role in the structure with lighter weight and
heavier load. This paper aims to provide an overview of different experimental approaches …

This paper investigates the effects of fretting wear on frictional contacts. A high frequency
friction rig is used to measure the evolution of hysteresis loops, friction coefficient and …

The dynamic response of individual components in an assembled structure shows high
accuracy compared to experimental measurements of the system response. However, when …

In structural simulation and design, an accurate computational model directly determines the
effectiveness of performance evaluation. To establish a high-fidelity dynamic model of a …

Motivated by the current demands in high-performance structural analysis, and by a need to
better model systems with localized nonlinearities, analysts have developed a number of …

Structures with bolted joints are known to exhibit amplitude-dependent shifts in the natural
frequency and damping of its modes that are challenging to model accurately. These two …

Bolted disk structure has the advantages of easy production and assembly and it is widely
adopted in the design of gas turbine rotors. However, the discontinuity of bolted structure …

Aeroengine manufacturers face fundamental limitations when correlating experimental
dynamic analysis with finite element method models. The source of inconsistency between …

The bolted flange joints with spigot (short for bolted joints) are widely used in the rotor
system of aero-engine. The current models of the bolted joint usually ignore the spigot …

Bolted flanges in aero-engine casings exhibit a nonlinear response when subjected to
forced vibration. The current models for the structural dynamic analysis of bolted flanges are …
