Strengthening of hollow structural sections using through-bolts is a cost-effective and straightforward approach. It's a versatile method that can be applied during both design and service phases, serving as a non-disruptive and budget-friendly retrofitting solution. Existing research on axially loaded hollow sections T-joints has demonstrated that this technique can amplify the joint strength by 50%, where single bolt could enhance the strength of the joint by 35%. However, there's a gap in understanding their use for K-joints. As the behavior of K-joints is more complex, and they are widely existent in structures, this study aims to bridge that gap by conducting comprehensive parametric study using finite element analysis. Numerical investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of through bolts on K-joints focusing on using single through bolt to achieve most of the strengthening effect. A full-scale parametric model was developed to investigate the effect of various geometric parameters of the joint. This study concluded the existence of optimal bolt location to achieve the highest strength gain for the joint. Moreover, a rigorous statistical analysis was conducted on the data to propose design equations to predict optimal bolt location and the corresponding strength gain implementing the verified by finite element models.

Most of mechanical structures are combined of substructures such as beams and/or plates. There are few systems with unibody structures but are many systems with united body structures. Generally the dynamic a nalysis of whole structures is performed under alternation load. In the structure design, the analysis of each bolted joint is more important than others for zero severity. This paper presents the analysis method of contact stress distribution factor in the bolted joint with variable fastening torque on joints in the structure. At first, a static vibration test was performed to find out a nominal stress of bolt jointed plates from the relationship between natural frequency and nominal stress. Then a contact stress was computed at contact point between bolt and plate in the structure. It is believed that the proposed method has promisiong implications for safer design with index of contact stress distribution factor and has merits for cost-down and saving time at the beginning of vehicle development.

Composite-to-aluminum joins were tested to get failure loads and modes for three types of joins; adhesive bonding, bolt fastening, and adhesive-bolt hybrid joining. Film type adhesive FM73 and paste type adhesive Cytec EA9394S were used for aluminum and composite bonding to make a double-lap joint. A digital microscope camcorder was used to monitor the failure initiation and propagation. It was found that the hybrid joining is an effective method to strengthen the joint when the mechanical fastening is stronger than the bonding as in the case of using the paste type adhesive. On the contrary, when the strength of the bolted joint is lower than the strength of the bonded joint as in the joint with the film type adhesive, the bolt joining contribute little to the hybrid joint strength.

본 연구에서는 인장이음에 대한 반복하중의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 단순 인장이음을 대상으로 피로시험을 수행하였다. 인장이음의 볼트체결에 따른 축력과 작용하중에 의한 축력의 변화를 측정하였고 반복하중에 의한 볼트의 축력과 파괴양상, 이음의 피로강도를 조사하였다. 인장이음의 구조 상세 변수는 플랜지 두께와 고장력 볼트의 직경으로서 이들의 조합에 따라 볼트와 연결부의 강성이 달라지도록 하였다. 피로시험결과, 반복하중을 받는 인장이음의 파괴모드는 EC3에서 제시하고 있는 정적 파괴모드별 극한하중을 이용하여 평가될 수 있었다. 인장이음의 피로강도는 지레작용을 고려하지 않은 EC3(36)의 피로강도보다 상당히 안전측의 결과로 나타났다. 그러나, 지레작용에 의한 부가축력은 볼트 축력의 증가를 일으키기 때문에 피로강도에 대한 신중한 평가가 필요하다.

The paper presents the details and results of an experimental study on bolted end-plate joints of industrial type steel building frames. The investigated joints are commonly used in Lindab-Astron industrial buildings and are optimized for manufacturing, erection and durability. The aim of the research was to provide an experimental background for the design model development by studying load-bearing capacity of joints, bolt force distribution, and end-plate deformations. Because of the special joint details, (i.e., joints with four bolts in one bolt-row and HammerHead arrangements), the Eurocode 3 standardized component model had to be improved and extended. The experimental programme included six different end-plate and bolt arrangements and covered sixteen specimens. The steel grade of test specimens was S355, the bolt diameter M20, whereas the bolt grade was 8.8 and 10.9 for the two series. The end-plate thickness varied between 12 mm and 24 mm. The specimens were investigated under pure bending conditions using a four-point-bending test arrangement. In all tests the typical displacements and the bolt force distribution were measured. The end-plate plastic deformations were measured after the tests by an automatic measuring device. The measured data were presented and evaluated by the moment-bolt-row force and moment-distance from centre of compression diagrams and by the deformed end-plate surfaces. From the results the typical failure modes and the joint behaviour were specified and presented. Furthermore the influence of the end-plate thickness and the pretension of the bolts on the behaviour of bolted joints were analysed.

General systems have many substructures assembled at joints. The bolted joint is generally used in assembling the mechanical parts. However, there are no effective modeling methods to analyze the dynamic characteristics of bolt jointed structure using the finite element (FE) analysis, especially in case of large area contact. Moreover, the design methods for the appropriate bolt locations and the number of bolts considering the dynamic characteristics are not guided properly. In this study, a proper modeling method is developed to simulate the dynamic characteristics of a structure with the large interfaced area using the cone frusta method and spring elements. The natural frequencies are also controlled by adjusting the bolt-joint location and the number of bolts considering relative distances in mode shapes at the interface of bolt-jointed plates. The Modeling method and the optimized design method are verified based on the experimental and the FE analysis results.

인장이음은 고장력 볼트의 체결력과 모재 그리고 고장력 볼트의 내력을 직접적으로 활용하고, 볼트구멍의 가공수나 체결개소의 감소, 피로저항성 등에 있어 유리하며 때문에 역학적으로 매우 효율적인 연결이다. 이러한 인장이음은 교량의 거더와 가로보의 이음, 주탑의 수평이음, 보-기둥 연결부, 바닥판 단부 2차부재 연결부, 브라켓 등에 적용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 인장이음의 역학적 거동을 파악하기 위해서 T-인장이음에 대한 정적실험을 수행하였다. 시험변수는 고장력 볼트의 직경, 플렌지 두께 및 체결력 감소이며, 인장이음의 파괴양상과 내력, 플랜지 두께와 고장력 볼트의 직경의 영향, 체결력의 영향에 대해 분석하였다.

Generally the dynamic analysis of whole structures is perform ed under alternating load. However, the analysis of each joint area is more important than others for zero severity. This paper presents the results of analysis of concentration stress in bolt jointed structure with variable preload. At frist, a static vibration test was performed to find out a nominal stress of bolt joint ed plates from the relationship between natural frequency and nominal stress. Then a concentration stress was computed at contact point between bolt and plate in the structure. It is believed that the proposed method has promising implications for safer design with fatigue quality index of stress concentration factor and has merit for cost down and saving time at the beginning of vehicle development.

It is very important to connect machinery and maintain it. This is usually done by bolt joint. There are two ways in connecting the bolt joint : the angle method and the torque method. The torque method is a method that let the clamping force maintain. The underhead of the bolt's head and the thread friction are the main influences. This study focuses on how the clamping farce and friction coefficient change under the condition in vibrating the underhead of the bolt's head part. As a result, under vibration condition, we found out that the clamping farce increases, while the friction coefficient decreases.
