Description:
Bolted joints have a significant effect on the dynamical behaviour of assembled structures. Accurate contact stiffness model of bolted joint is crucial in predicting the dynamic performance of bolted structures. In this research, a modified three-dimensional fractal model of normal contact stiffness is presented to more accurately predict the dynamic characteristic of a bolted assembly. In the present model, while the contact deformation exceed the critical value the elastic-plastic contact is used to take the place of Hertz elastic contact in the traditional M-B model, and revise the drawback that elastic-plastic contact occurs before elastic contact in existing elastic-plastic fractal models. As the increase of contact force, the plastic deformation of single asperity is considered again, which is omitted in the two type fractal models. An experimental set-up with two T-shaped specimen is designed conducted to verify the efficiency of the proposed model. Comparing with the ZX ...
