Effect of bolt tightening torque on fatigue life of multi-bolted composite structure

Bolt tightening torque has an influence on the fatigue life of the multi-bolted joints which cannot be ignored, but there are few methods to predict the fatigue life of the multi-bolted composite structure by considering the bolt tightening torque. A fatigue life prediction method of the multi-bolte...

description Bolt tightening torque has an influence on the fatigue life of the multi-bolted joints which cannot be ignored, but there are few methods to predict the fatigue life of the multi-bolted composite structure by considering the bolt tightening torque. A fatigue life prediction method of the multi-bolted composite structure by considering the bolt tightening torque is proposed. It can take into account the various damages of bolts and laminates and accurately calculate fatigue life and damage evolution of multi-bolted composite structure. The multi-bolted composite structure being composed of T300/BMP-316 composite laminates and TC4 titanium alloy bolts is used to verify the present method. The logarithmic error between the predicted fatigue life and the experimental is 4.36%, and the failure mode is consistent with the experimental. Through the present method, the influence of the bolt tightening torque is explored, in which it is found that with the increasing of bolt tightening torque, the fatigue life increases firstly and decreases, and there is an optimal tightening torque. By observing the damage evolution diagram, it is found that when the tightening torque is below the optimal tightening torque, the damage propagation cannot be effectively restrained, which will lead to the reduction of fatigue life. On the contrary, when the tightening torque is more than the optimal tightening torque, it will cause the initial damage to the test piece, which will also lead to the reduction of fatigue life. In engineering, to choose the best tightening torque of the structure for assembly can effectively improve the fatigue life of the structure.
