The reliability and safety of bolted joints is one of the crucial engineering problems during
design of mechanical structures. In this paper, finite element method was used to investigate …

Steel bolted connections are used in many engineering, mechanical and building structures
that can be subjected to a wide variety of thermal loads [11, 28]. As a result of these loads …

The subject of the paper is numerical tests of the contact of a pair of elements joined with a
bolt and externally loaded with an arbitrary force. In the modeling, non-linear phenomena …

The paper put forward a thesis that modelling dissymmetric non-linear multi-bolted
connections as a system is possible. Modelling of the systems composed of four subsystems …

Miniaturization is a dominant trend in machine building which requires the use of advanced
techniques of manufacturing and control. Apart from dimensional and shape precision of …

Modelling and calculations of asymmetrical multi-bolted connections at the operational
stage are presented. The physical model of the joint is based on a flexible flange element …

Finite element modelling of multi-bolted foundation connections used for the foundation of
heavy machinery or equipment is presented. Connections made using different types of …

The aim of the study is the numerical analysis of a bolted connection under the conditions of
loss of bearing capacity of some fasteners in this connection. The joined plates in the …

This article concerns modeling, computation and analysis of multi-bolted joints in the
assembly stage. The physical joint model is introduced as the assembly of the following …

Modelling and calculations of asymmetrical nonlinear multi-bolted connections treated as a
system composed of four subsystems are presented. These subsystems are: a couple of …
