A time-varying nonlinear dynamic analysis for preload degradation of bolted joint interfaces
摘要
In this study, a novel time-varying nonlinear dynamic analysis method is proposed for investigating preload degradation in bolted joint interfaces. A refined finite element analysis (FEA) is employed to characterize preload degradation patterns in bolted joints under cyclic loading. Factors affecting the clamping performance of the interface are incorporated into a nonlinear joint model, thereby enabling the development of a time-varying Iwan model for long-term vibration analysis. Considering the fast variation in vibration response and the slow evolution of preload degradation, a hierarchical evolutionary fast-slow decomposition method is developed for dynamic analysis. A nonlinear iterative algorithm is used to capture the coupled behavior between the structural dynamic response and preload degradation under long-term vibration. The proposed model and analysis method are validated experimentally using a bolted joint friction oscillator. The numerical predictions agree well with experimental results, with a maximum error below
