Abstract

Bolted joints are generally used in industries like automobiles, machines, structures and so on. The design of joint is as important as machine components because a weak joint may spoil the utility of a carefully designed machine part. So it is becoming increasingly important to accurately predict the behaviour of bolted joints. The research is presented with variants of different array patterns proposed for the shear strength investigation of bolted joint to be used in the industry. The problem is assessed by using Finite Element Analysis and validated by experimental testing. Finite Element Analysis tools and techniques are being used for stress analysis in bolts to connect test piece in different array pattern. Experimental work was carried out and test piece of bolted connection was tested to validate the results obtained in FEA.
