FE-MODELLING OF A CONTACT LAYER BETWEEN ELEMENTS JOINED IN PRELOADED BOLTED CONNECTIONS FOR THE OPERATIONAL CONDITION

Modelling and calculations of a contact layer between elements joined in a preloaded bolted connection for the operational condition are presented. The physical model of the bolted connection is based on a flexible flange element that is joined with a rigid support by means of the no-bolt model (at...
