Abstract
Under the effect of external excitation, bolted structures are prone to stiffness weakening and damping energy dissipation at the bolted joint, which makes the structures show nonlinear vibration behavior. In this paper, the displacement-dependent surface springs and tangential surface damping expressed by the S-curve model are proposed to simulate the nonlinear mechanical properties of the bolted joint. The non-uniform distribution of the mechanical parameters for the bolted joint is given to simulate the actual joint interface pressure distribution. Based on these, a nonlinear semi-analytical model for bolted carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRC) plates considering the nonlinear mechanical characteristics of the bolted joint is established. Combined with the experimental results for a bolted CFRC beam, the specific S-curve expressions for the relevant mechanical parameters of the bolted joint are obtained by the inverse identification technology and numerical fitting method. After that, the bolted joint model is transplanted to the dynamic model of a bolted CFRC plate for numerical calculation. The comparison with the corresponding measured results shows that the proposed modeling method can well reproduce the soft nonlinear vibration of the actual bolted CFRC plate, which verifies the correctness and applicability of the proposed modeling method.
