| Abstract | Metal to metal contact between joint surfaces is widely used in bolted joints to obtain a rigid and a high performance connection. However, a significant amount of clamping load is lost when the joint is subjected to mechanical and thermal loading including creep and fatigue. In practice, to prevent bolt loosening, additional parts such as spring washers, double nut, spring lock washers, Nyloc nut and so on are used. Those methods are costly and influence the stability of the joint and affect its structural integrity. It is well established that a small compression displacement in clamping parts leads to a big clamping load loss in stiff joints. This paper discusses the relationship between connection stiffness and clamping load and presents a method that improves clamping load retention during operation by a careful design of the member contact surface shape. A single bolted joint with two clamping parts is modeled using finite element method (FEM). A method is proposed to obtain a specific stiffness by an optimized geometrical shape of the joint contact surfaces. The result shows that the contact surface shape based on a gradually varying gap can improve the retention of the initial clamping load. Furthermore, a formula of the connection stiffness based on the curve fitting technique is proposed to predict residual clamping load under different external load and loosening. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
