Influence of Temperature on the Bolt Loads and Variation in a Bolted Flange for Subsea Pipeline Connection

This article proposed an analytic and finite element-combined modelling method for the investigation of temperature effects on bolt loads and variation in a bolted flange for subsea pipeline connection. With this method, the preloads of bolt in the bolted flange assembly were investigated under diff...
