Abstract |
|
Bolted joint is one of many fastening technologies used in most of the equipment and structures. A bolt reacts with tension when the nut is tightened to clamp the members to be assembled. Bolt tension would be equal to the initial clamping force referred as pre load. Elastomers are formed by the linkage of a large number of very small structural units (monomers). Elastomeric materials are broadly used for damping augmentation in varieties of applications. The objective of this project is to introducing the elastomers in joints and to study their effect on joint stiffness. The study is predominantly experiment in nature and to evaluate the effect of different parameters like bolt diameter, tightening torque, clamping force and different elastomeric material on the joint stiffness. |
