DETERMINATION OF STIFFNESS AND LOADING IN BOLTED JOINTS HAVING CIRCULAR GEOMETRY
Organization: | WRC |
Publication Date: | 1 April 1978 |
Status: | active |
scope:
A synthesized technique to aid in predicting the overall dynamic or static response of a bolted connection to externally applied dynamic or static tractions is presented. The technique is a synthesis of an existing method for determining stiffness coefficients in a bolted connection together with concepts and analysis techniques presented in this document. The information presented is considered a "first step" in the development of an analytical technique for predicting the overall stiffness of a bolted connection.
