Finite Element Analysis of the Influence of Weld Size on the Combined Connection with Bolts and Welds

Abstract:

The combined connection with welds and bolds mainly refers to Interaction of weld and high-strength bolts. Both bolts and welds show influence on the performance of the combined connection. In practical engineering, because of limited joint size, only welds’ performence can increase bolts number or load. Therefore, it need to explore the influences of weld on joint performance. Moreover, for given determined bolt connection, it is necessary to discuss the influences of weld size, weld length and weld height, on the performance of a certain weld joint.
