Static Load Bolted Joint Elastic Resilience Testing Methodology, Paul Melino
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Elastic resilience is the ratio of deformation over force an object experiences when under stress. Knowing the how much the bolt and clamped part deform under load is critical when determining fasteners for a bolted joint. VDI 2230 is the internationally recognized bolt sizing standard and contains the equations used to determine each of the bolted joint component’s resilience as well as values for embedment estimates based on component surface roughness. Embedment is the local plastic deformation due to uneven contact over the contact planes of a bolt-clamped interface (Bolt head to plate, plate to plate, plate to nut, and …
