A mathematical model of a bolted connection based on Florida contact theory to study the influence of the friction coefficient on structural performance

Bolted joints are widely used for the mechanical assembly of engineering structures and friction coefficient of the contact surface of a bolted connection is the main factor that influences its structural performance. This article presents a mathematical model based on the Florida contact model to o...
