Bolted connections have been widely applied in engineering structures, loosening will
happen when bolted connections are subjected to continuous cyclic load, and a significant …

The nonlinear characteristics of bolted connections are of significant importance for
analyzing the mechanical performance of structures. The Iwan model is well-known and has …

The pre-tightening force loss (PTFL) of bolts is an important but underestimated cause of
roadway instability. In mine anchorage systems, the actual pre-tightening force of bolts is …

The magnitude of pretension force serves as an important indicator of the effectiveness of
anchor bolt active support and is one of the significant factors influencing the stability of …

This article discusses the issue of force behavior in a pre-tensioned bolt that is part of a
symmetrical flange connection, loaded with an operating load parallel to the bolt axis. The …

The cable bracket is one of the crucial components of high-speed Electric Multiple Units
(EMUs), which is fixed to the axle box by bolts to support the cable. As an important …

In order to solve the problem of difficult simulation of the bolted joint structure of rotors, this
study proposes an improved sub-regional thin-layer element method (ISRTL) and applies it …

The assembly process of flareless pipe joints is very important for the sealing performance of
hydraulic pipeline system. Based on the theory of contact mechanics, a theoretical model of …

This article deals with the uniformity of the distribution of axial forces between the individual
bolts of the clamping sleeve. Clamping sleeves are machine components connecting the …

Computational modeling and simulation are essential to solid and structural mechanics.
They have not only covered entire engineering fields (civil, aerospace, mechanical, etc.) but …
