Finite element analysis of relationship between tightening torque and initial load of bolted connections
Proper initial load is necessary to ensure the stability of the bolted connections. In order to apply appropriate torque, the relationship between tightening torque and initial load should be determined. In this study, a detailed three-dimensional finite element model of bolted joints was establishe...
