Abstract: This paper deals with the characteristics of a rectangular bolted connection of “T” shape with a gasket (filler plate), in which the flanges and a gasket (filler plate) are fastened with two ...

Abstract: A bolted connection consisting of a cover on a pressure vessel flange with a metallic flat gasket on raised faces is analyzed as a four-body contact problem using axisymmetrical theory of ...

Abstract: The behavior of a bolted connection, using several aluminum alloy pipe flanges with steel bolts and nuts, was examined under the condition of thermal conduction. Using the finite difference ...

Abstract: The use of pipe flange connections is standardized in the codes of JIS, ASME, DIN and so on. However, these codes are almost entirely dependent on experience, and subsequently some problems ...

Abstract: Bolted joints in heat exchangers, cylinder heads in combustion engines, and so on are subjected to heat fluxes. It is necessary to examine the mechanical behavior of such bolted joints under ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the strength and the sealing performance of pipe flange connections combining the bonding force of adhesives with the clamping force of bolts. The epoxy adhesives or ...

Abstract: An experimental and analytical study was made on a bolted connection subjected to thermal loading. The connection consists of an aluminum alloy tapered hub flange and a flat cover, including ...
