Experimental and Finite Element Study on Mechanical Behavior of Bolted Joint with Bolt Clearance in Transmission Tower

Article Preview

Abstract:

To accurately analyze the force and deformation of the transmission tower, it is necessary to study performance of bolted joint in the tower. In the paper single shear and double shear bolted joint with number of bolts changed is tested. Based on the actual data in test, nonlinear finite element model of bolted joint is established with ABAQUS, considering the bolt clearance and preload, and shows good agreement with test results, which is proved correct and applicable. Eventually, through a comparison of FEM and test results, the factors that affect bolt slip and the changing relationship of axial force of bolt and friction force is described.
