Statistical Consideration of Uncertainties in Bolted Joints of the Drive Train of Sheet-Fed Offset Printing Presses

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper outlines a design process for the bolted joints of the drive train of sheet-fed offset printing presses incorporating statistical data and methods. Sheet-fed offset printing presses are driven by a continuous geared drive train along the length of the press. The bolted joints of the drive train connecting the gears to the cylinders of the press are subjected to high loads, especially during emergency stops. A nonlinear mechanical model of a printing press implemented in Matlab/Simulink is presented which is used to calculate the occurring loads. Measurements of linear and nonlinear system response are presented to support the quality of the mechanical model. The bolted joints between the main drive train gears and cylinders are designed according to current standards. Statistical information based on experimental data is considered during the application of the standardized method. Using the Monte Carlo technique, a more exact description of the joint’s strength is made possible. In this way, the maximum tolerable load for the screw connection is 16% higher than the same result from a standard worst-case calculation.
