Interval estimation for contact stiffness of bolted joint with uncertain parameters

Bolted joints are elements used to create resistant assemblies in the mechanical system, whose overall performance is greatly affected by joints’ contact stiffness. Most of the researches on contact stiffness are based on certainty theory whereas in real applications the uncertainty characterizes th...
