The Variability of Strains in Bolts and the Effect on Preload in Jointed Structure
… the inability to determine the preload in bolted structures precisely, overdesign is necessary for bolts to meet safety requirements and prevent jointed structures from looseness failure. A series of comparative experiments are completed to quantify the influence of bolt strain variation based on …

Joint identification in structural waveguides using wave reflection and transmission coefficients
The dynamic modelling of one-dimensional jointed structures is relevant to many engineering applications, such as pipe systems and beam networks in constructions. Currently available techniques are undermined by inadequate ability to model the joints and other discontinuities due to uncertainty in …

Constitutive Modeling of Friction in Bolted Connections
Bolted joints are ubiquitous in mechanical engineering, requiring accurate models to optimize designs. However, the exact nature of frictional contact between components is unknown and poses a significant challenge to modeling the nonlinear vibration of assemblies. This thesis applies empirical and …
