Mechanisms of Bolt Preload Relaxation Arising from In-Plane Loads and Bolt Bending

Classical analysis methods have shown that flexural, in-plane, deflections due to shear strain in the flange pack of preloaded bolted joints produce bending moments and tensile loads on bolts within the joint. These bending moments and tensile loads are most noticeable in joints that are required to...
