Abstract

This paper presents numerical simulation using the 2D finite elements model to determine bolt tension of a bolted joint. The effects of bolt bending and sharing forces will be considered for the analysis of the global mechanical behaviour of the connection. The whole analysis execution is controlled by ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) and the numerical results are compared with Shigley's formula. Experimental results show that the simplified model can be useful for the specific case of bolted connections, as it overcomes the drawbacks exist in traditional formula.
