Abstract
A steel-to-aluminum flange joint was simulated by a plane model. The flanges and the bolt were made separately and assembled with the desired preload. The relative rigidities of these components were reproduced by the use of various materials and thicknesses. Birefringent material was utilized in conjunction with normal photoelastic techniques to evaluate, with respect to duct loading, the loads in the bolt at various preloads and the stresses in the flange sections.
