Abstract

Four circular bolted joints with blank flanges have been tested under static tension forces. Different tension forces and bolt preloads have been applied to the joints and bolt forces, displacements and stresses in the joints have been measured. The influences of bolt preloads and flange dimensions on the behaviour of the joints have been investigated. The results obtained have been compared with the results from finite element analyses and mathematical analyses and good agreement has been found.
