Effect of clamping force and coefficient of friction on the elastic-plastic behavior of cracked bolted joint

The effect of clamping force, Fc, and coefficient of friction, μ, on the elastic-plastic behavior of cracked bolted joint has been studied numerically using 3-D elastic-plastic extended finite element method. Two different failure modes of a single steel plate which contain a fastener hole are consi...
