In this paper, a novel but practical approach named series/parallel multi-sensing technique was proposed to evaluate the bolt looseness in a bolt group. The smart washers (SWs), which were fabricated by embedding a Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) transducer into two flat metal rings, were installed to the bolts group. By series connection of SWs, the impedance signals of different bolts can be obtained through only one sweep. Therefore, once the loosening occurred, the shift of different peak frequencies can be used to locate which bolt has loosened. The proposed multi input single output (MISO) damage detection scheme is very suitable for the structural health monitoring (SHM) of joint with a large number of bolts connection. Another notable contribution of this paper is the proposal of 3-dB bandwidth root mean square deviation (3 dB-RMSD) which can quantitatively evaluate the severity of bolt looseness. Compared with the traditional naked-eye observation method, the equivalent circuit based 3-dB bandwidth can accurately define the calculation range of RMSD. An experiment with three bolted connection specimens that installed the SWs was carried out to validate our proposed approach. Experimental result shows that the proposed 3 dB-RMSD based multi-sensing technique can not only identify the loosened bolt but also monitor the severity of bolt looseness.

Gaskets are usually used for the sealing of flange joints. The joint is usually composed of two flanges, a ring gasket and clamping bolts. The metal ring gasket is suitable for pipe flanges, pumps and valve joints in high temperature and high pressure environments. A very high surface stress is developed between a ring type joint gasket and the flange groove when the ring type joint is bolted up in a flange. The dimensions of flanges and ring joint gaskets for the pipe sizes that are in common use are specified in the ANSI codes. However, sometimes it is necessary to make a new design for the flange joint which is not specified in the codes, as the equipment is getting larger and larger in size. This paper presents the contact behavior of Class 600 ring joint gaskets with oval and octagonal cross sections. Five different sizes of gaskets are employed in the analysis, and one of them is newly designed on the basis of analysis results obtained from existing models. Three load steps are used to find the stress, stain and contact pressure etc., and to compare the contact characteristics among the models due to the bolt clamping force and the working surface pressure. ANSYS Workbench version15 is used to conduct the finite element analysis.

현장에서 자주 사용하는 강관 플랜지이음은 고력볼트를 사용한 인장접합의 일종이다. 이 이음에 있어서 응력전달은 고력볼트를 조을때 얻어지는 재료간의 높은 압축력을 이용해서 행하여진다. 그리고 플랜지이음의 역학성상에 대해서 충분하게 해명되어 있지 않고 설계방법도 확립되어 있다고 말하기 어렵다. 이상의 문제점을 포함한 플랜지이음에 대해서 종국내력에 착안을 둔 설계법을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 리브 붙은 고력볼트 강관 플랜지의 이음에 대한 설계방법을 세우기 위한 기초자료를 얻는데 있고 또한 리브나 링이 개입된 형식에 있어서 직경이 다른 강관 플랜지의 이음이 설계될 수 있는지 조사하는데 있다.

In this paper, the axial force of high tension bolt is measured by using ultrasonic wave. In the case of the different materials the conclusion obtained are as follows : (1) The relation of the material quality of each high tension bolt and form(diameter or section area), and yield axial force can be observed. (2) As 0.1 is devided by the apparent elongation the measurement accuracy of high tension bolt can be achived. Also, it is founded that the Joint axial force of high tension bolt is determined by the yield force.

대공간구조에서 접합부의 신뢰도는 매우 중요하다. 접합부에 사용되는 고력볼트의 나사부 유효단면적은 축부단면적보다 작고 볼트 축부에 락핀용 구멍이 있기 때문에 볼트 나사부 또는 락핀용 구멍에 응력집중 현상이 발생하여 취성 파단이 발생할 우려가 높다. 특히 접합부는 직렬형 구조로 이루어져 있다. 따라서 접합부에서의 극한상황시 파괴유형은 필히 취성파괴를 피해야 하며 연성파손으로 유도해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 볼 조인트 접합부의 소성변형능력을 향상시키고 현장에서 발생할 수 있는 시공오차의 흡수가 가능하도록, 볼트의 나사부나 핀부의 취성파단 없이 소성변형능력 향상을 목표로 하였다. 에너지흡수형 볼트를 사용함으로써 소성변형능력이 향상된 스페이스 프레임의 접합상세를 제안하였다.

The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor pebble-bed module project is the first commercial Generation-IV NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) in China. A new joint is used for the vertical support of RPV(Reactor Pressure Vessel). The steel corbel is integrally embedded into the reactor-cabin wall through eight asymmetrically arranged pre-stressed high-strength bolts, achieving the different path transmission of shear force and moment. The vertical monotonic loading test of two specimens is conducted. The results show that the failure mode of the joint is bolt fracture. There is no prominent yield stage in the whole loading process. The stress of bolts is linearly distributed along the height of corbel at initial loading. As the load increases, the height of neutral axis of bolts gradually decreases. The upper and lower edges of the wall opening contact the corbel plate to restrict the rotation of the corbel. During the loading, the pre-stress of some bolts decreases. The increase of the pre-stress strength ratio of bolts has no noticeable effect on the structure stiffness, but it reduces the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint. A simplified calculation model for the elastic stage of the joint is established, and the estimation results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

A design optimization is performed for the double-bolted joint in cylindrical composite structures by using a simplified analytical method. This method uses failure criteria for the major failure modes of the bolted composite joint. For the double-bolted joint with a zigzag arrangement, it is necessary to consider an interaction effect between the bolt arrays. This paper proposes another failure mode which is determined by angle and distance between two bolts in different arrays and define a failure criterion for the failure mode. The optimal design for the double-bolted joint is carried out by considering the interactive net-tension failure mode. The genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted to determine the optimized parameters; bolt spacing, edge distance, and stacking sequence of the composite laminate. A purpose of the design optimization is to maximize the burst pressure of the cylindrical structures by ensuring structural integrity. Also, a progressive failure analysis (PFA) is performed to verify the results of the optimal design for the double-bolted joint. In PFA, Hashin 3D failure criterion is used to determine the ply that would fail. A stiffness reduction model is then used to reduce the stiffness of the failed ply for the corresponding failure mode.

Ultrasonic chaotic excitations combined with sensor prediction algorithms have shown the ability to identify incipient damage (loss of preload) in a bolted joint. In this study we examine a physical experiment on a single-bolt aluminum lap joint as well as a three-dimensional physics-based simulation designed to model the behavior of guided ultrasonic waves through a similarly configured joint. A multiple bolt frame structure is also experimentally examined. In the physical experiment each signal is imparted to the structure through a macro-fiber composite (MFC) patch on one side of the lap joint and sensed using an equivalent MFC patch on the opposite side of the joint. The model applies the waveform via direct nodal displacement and 'senses' the resulting displacement using an average of the nodal strain over an area equivalent to the MFC patch. A novel statistical classification feature is developed from information theory concepts of cross-prediction and interdependence. This damage detection algorithm is used to evaluate multiple damage levels and locations.
