Abstract:
The effect of preload relaxation caused by the mechanical vibration on loosening of bolted joints with self-locking capability has been widely observed. This paper proposed a combination testing strategy involving tightening and relaxation to elucidate the loss mechanism of bolt preload. A logarithmic relationship between torque coefficient and tightening torque is reported based on the results of fastening tests. Two types of specimen were designed to evaluate the preload relaxation under axial and transverse vibration. A time-varying model is proposed for predicting the residual preload of bolts. An orthogonal test involving tightening torque, amplitude, and frequency was conducted. The results show that the relaxation evolution of bolted joints subjected to vibration is similar and can be divided into two stages.
