| Summary: | 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 the assembly stage) or the rigid body bolt model (at the operational stage). The contact layer between joined elements is described as the nonlinear Winkler model. The contact joint model considering an experimental normal elastic characteristic is presented. Examples of normal contact pressure and normal contact deformations distributions are contained. |
